Questions and answers
How is the USD to BRL rate calculated?
ConvertEasy fetches live rates for every currency against the US dollar, then divides: USD→BRL = (USD in USD) ÷ (BRL in USD). The primary source is Coinbase's public exchange-rate feed, with currency-api and the European Central Bank (via Frankfurter) as fallbacks.
How often do the rates update?
Every minute while the page is open, and whenever you come back to the tab. The status line under the converter shows the source and how long ago the rates were fetched.
Why is my bank's USD to BRL rate different?
These are mid-market reference rates. Banks, card networks, remittance services and exchanges add a spread and sometimes a fee, so the rate you are offered is usually a little worse.
Does the currency converter work offline?
Yes. The last rates fetched are stored in your browser, so conversions keep working with no connection. The converter labels them as an offline copy with the time they were fetched.
