The exchange rate ≠ the stock market rate. Why is this the case and what can be done about it?

The exchange rate on a trading platform and the rate in an exchanger often differ significantly — and this question generates a lot of inquiries from users. Kursoff Product Owner Anastasiia Panasiuk decided to dive deeper into the topic: how exactly prices are formed, what influences the difference, and why the exchanger’s rate is not just a “markup” but a whole package of services, guarantees, and fees.

In the article, we explain:

• Why an exchange is essentially a marketplace
• When an exchanger can even offer a better rate than an exchange
• How to spot attractive but suspicious offers
• Why it’s important to understand what exactly you’re buying — an asset or peace of mind
• What you must always check before making an exchange transaction

We constantly work with the market and aim to share not only up-to-date rates but also an understanding of how everything works.
