How do international exchange rates work?

Exchange rates represent what one currency is worth compared to another. When an international money transfer is made between accounts, the exchange rate calculates the difference between currencies based on the markets at that exact time. These rates change regularly based on fluctuating global trade markets. In addition to this conversion, transaction fees might also be applied, and can vary from bank to bank.
