Mastercard Currency Conversion not updated

DilbertJones

Does anyone know why the Mastercard Currency Conversion has not been updated since the 13th July?

If I was away right now and hoping to take advantage of the recent drop in value of the Euro I would be most disappointed as the rate is currently 1.39

I am beginning to question the wisdom of relying on my Halifax clarity card for my holiday in two weeks and may just take cash from here instead as I can get a better rate

The tool never indicates the current rate, it (usually) shows the rate of the previous working day. So the delay in updating is curious, but it does not mean that your Clarity card will not transact at the current rate if you use it today.

I'm not away for two weeks anyway but the cynic in me feels like they are capitalising on the declining value of the euro & I wouldn't be confident in obtaining anything other than the rate set out on that page

Don't be a Dilbert.

The conversion chart not being updated has no bearing on the exchange rate you will receive. You'll still get the best rates with the Clarity..

Ok I will try to stop looking into things too much
