How to check when Currency's rates were last updated

The usefulness of a conversion depends partly on the age of its rate data. Currency's refresh settings show update information and available refresh-frequency choices.

Before you begin

A moving clock on your phone is not proof that the underlying rates just changed. Check the app's update information, particularly after using it offline or returning from a long period without opening it.

Step by step

  1. Open Currency Settings and select the rate-refresh settings.
  2. Read the last-update information shown there.
  3. Choose an available refresh frequency appropriate to your use.
  4. Return with a connection, allow a refresh and check the update information again.

Check the result

Faster refresh options may require an eligible subscription. A five-minute refresh setting is still periodic updating, rather than a guarantee that every market movement appears instantly.

Limits and troubleshooting

If the date remains old, check connectivity and try again later. Use a payment provider's current quote for an actual transaction; a recently refreshed reference rate still may not include that provider's spread or fees.
