How to read NBP courses? Practical Guide
The NBP exchange tables contain three different quotations for each currency, and each has a different practical sense. Average rate (mid) is the theoretical value of currency — the so-called reference course, which shows the right price at excellent market conditions without business margins. In fact, when you go to the exchange office or make an international transfer, you get a lower purchase rate (bid) — The bank or currency gives you less gold for foreign currency when you sell it. On the other hand, the sales price (ask) is higher — When you want to buy foreign currency, you have to pay more gold. The difference between buying and selling is called spread — the income of the financial institution. For example, the euro today costs an average of PLN 4.2544, but in the canto you will pay PLN 4.3001 for the purchase and only PLN 4.2149. Therefore, it is worth comparing the odds between different currency exchangers and banks — spreads may vary significantly.
