Where the numbers come from

The exchange rate comes from the Frankfurter API, a free feed of European Central Bank reference rates updated each weekday. To keep the tool fast, the rate is cached in your browser's local storage for 6 hours; the timestamp under the result shows when it was last refreshed.

Reading the USD to CAD rate

Oil prices and Bank of Canada decisions move the Canadian dollar; when crude rallies, the loonie usually gains on the US dollar. For everyday use, treat the figure here as the mid-market benchmark: use it to judge quotes: the closer a service's rate is to this benchmark, the cheaper the transfer.

How often does the USD to CAD rate update?
A fresh USD to CAD rate is fetched from Frankfurter (ECB reference rates) and stored in your browser for 6 hours, so repeat visits are instant. After 6 hours the next visit pulls a new rate automatically.
Is it worth shopping across the Canadian border?
When the US dollar is strong against the loonie, Canadian goods get cheaper for Americans. Check the live rate above, then factor in Canadian sales taxes, which run higher than in most US states.
What drives the USD to CAD rate up or down?
Oil prices and Bank of Canada decisions move the Canadian dollar; when crude rallies, the loonie usually gains on the US dollar. This converter tracks those shifts with live ECB-based rates, cached in your browser for 6 hours.

Will this converter work offline?
Partly: the last fetched USD to CAD rate is cached in your browser for 6 hours, so conversions keep working offline with that rate. A fresh rate needs a connection to reach the Frankfurter feed.
