There’s a different Mastercard exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and approximately 150 other currencies, and they all fluctuate from day to day. You can easily see what exchange rate your transaction will have by going to Mastercard’s exchange rate calculator.
It’s very simple to use. All you have to do is put in the date, currency of the merchant, transaction amount, foreign transaction fee (if applicable) and United States Dollar (USD) as your card’s currency. Then click “calculate,” and you’ll see the amount you’re paying in USD at the bottom right. The exchange rate will be to the left of that.
Let’s take a look at some of today’s exchange rates for popular travel spots. These rates are current as of 06/06/18 but are subject to change as time goes on.
Popular Mastercard exchange rates:
- Euro: 1 EUR = 1.17 USD
- Bahamian Dollar: 1 BHD = 1 USD
- Canadian Dollar: 1 CAD = 0.77 USD
- Great British Pound: 1 GBP = 1.34 USD
- Mexican Peso: 1 MXN = 0.05 USD
- Chinese Yuan Renminbi: 1CNY = 0.16 USD
- Japanese Yen: 1 JPY = 0.01 USD
- Russian Ruble: 1 RUB = 0.02 USD
Credit cards are actually the cheapest way to convert currency. But you may still be subject to a foreign transaction fee, which is an extra charge when you buy from a foreign merchant. While all Mastercards offer the same exchange rates, only some of them charge foreign transaction fees.

For what? There's no specific rate for all foreign currencies, they're different from one to the other, not to mention they change every day. Just go here: https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/consumers/get-support/convert-currency.html and find the money you're trying to switch into.

Without any fees, at the moment, 1 EGP = 0.040582 GBP. Of course, you have to consider the bank's fee, and obviously, this fluctuates. Just go here to check out at any point: https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/consumers/get-support/convert-currency.html
