How to read NBP courses? Practical Guide
NBP courses are published in three forms that are worth understanding. Average rate (mid) is the theoretical central value of currency — The kind that bants use among themselves for internal calculations. When you go to the exchange office or check the course on the bank website, you meet with two other courses: the purchase rate and the sale rate. The purchase rate is the price for which the currency is taken from you (i.e. how much gold will you get for your dollars or euros). The sales rate is the price for which the currency is sold to you (i.e. how much gold you will have to pay to get dollars or euro). The difference between these two courses is the exchange markup — his profit. Therefore, the sales rate is always higher than the purchase rate. Knowing this principle, you will be able to better negotiate exchange terms and avoid surprises in the canto.
