ECB Currencies

Fast, clear, and always up to date: ECBCurrencies shows the daily reference exchange rates of the European Central Bank (ECB) for more than 30 currencies — on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. HOW IT WORKS • Choose your reference currency — every rate in the list is shown relative to it. • Mark as many favorites as you like; they stay at the top, in your order. • Tap any currency to open the converter: a large keypad, quick amounts (10 / 20 / 50 / 100), and instant results in both directions. • Swipe or long-press a currency to set it as reference or manage favorites. APPLE WATCH The full converter on your wrist: pick any currency pair, enter an amount on the watch keypad, and get the current rate — the watch updates its rates on its own, even when your iPhone isn't around. ALWAYS CURRENT, ALSO OFFLINE Rates refresh automatically from the ECB every time you open the app (the ECB publishes on business days, around 16:00 CET). Offline, the app keeps working with the most recent rates, and always shows you when they were last updated. No ads. No account. No clutter. ABOUT THE RATES All exchange rates are the official euro reference rates published free of charge by the European Central Bank (www.ecb.europa.eu). They are provided for informational purposes only: these are reference rates, not real-time or transaction rates, and may differ from the rates offered by banks and exchange services. This app does not provide financial advice.
