When to use USD → KRW

USD to KRW trades around the 1 300–1 400 range in recent years. The Bank of Korea sets policy and occasionally intervenes; Korea's export-led economy means the won weakens during global slowdowns and strengthens during demand cycles for semiconductors and automotive exports — two of Korea's largest export categories. For Korean residents purchasing US-listed stocks (a substantial retail behaviour), this rate is the daily portfolio mark-to-market.

Frequently asked questions

What is 1 US Dollar in South Korean Won?

What is 1 KRW in USD?

Where do these rates come from?
The European Central Bank publishes daily reference rates around 16:00 CET. Convertitive consumes them through the Frankfurter open data service and refreshes its cache every hour.
How often is the rate updated?
Up to once per hour, and only when the ECB itself has issued a new value. Over weekends and holidays the displayed rate stays at the previous business day's close.
Why isn't this the rate my bank quotes?
Mid-market rates are a benchmark; retail banks and card networks add a spread on every conversion to cover their costs and margin. Expect that spread to be 1–3 % on most card transactions and 0.4–0.8 % at large brokers.
Can I use this for accounting or invoicing?
Use it as a reference. For official accounting, most jurisdictions require a documented rate from a central bank or your tax authority (which often publish their own daily values).
What's a 'mid-market' rate?
The midpoint between the buying and selling prices that wholesale banks quote each other. It's the closest thing to a 'real' rate for an individual to compare against.
