How long does the exchange take?

The execution time depends on the type of exchange rate you choose.  If you choose the current best rate offered on the site the exchange will take place immediately. This saves you time and makes the exchange quick and easy.

If you are looking for a bargain or are familiar with the foreign exchange market, you can set your own buying or selling rate. In this case, the exchange time is difficult to estimate. The exchange can be carried out immediately if the rate you offer is attractive to other  Walutomat`s users (if there is a person or company who has previously offered to buy or sell the same currency at the rate you offer). If you offer a rate which is far from reality (too high or too low), the transaction will only be carried out when another user of the website wants to carry out a transaction at the rate you offer.

In both cases, Walutomat performs the transactions for you, you don’t have to do anything but deposit money for the exchange and choose the exchange rate.
