What exchange rates are applied to my transactions?

Updated:

ZEN.COM applies market exchange rates with a small margin that depends on your ZEN.COM subscription plan. You can exchange 35 currencies, make payments with your ZEN card, or withdraw cash from ATMs, all using competitive, transparent rates that already include any applicable fees.


How to check your exchange rate

If you don’t have a ZEN account yet

Use the ZEN.COM Web Currency Converter. It shows the current rates available with a ZEN Rate. ZEN Rate is based on the interbank market mid-rate (rate between the buy and sell prices, used by financial institutions and updated in real time) and includes ZEN costs and a premium for exchange rate risk. The ZEN Rate may vary depending on the customer's country market.

If you already use the ZEN.COM app

You can always see the live exchange rate in the app:

  1. Log in to your ZEN.COM app and select “Wallet” from the bottom menu.
    Business account: select “Home” instead.
  2. Tap “Exchange” and set your currency pair.

The rate presented in the app already includes an exchange margin, the amount of which depends on your ZEN.COM subscription plan:
