Foreign exchange rates
From Central Banks to your computer
foxer currency calculator is a productivity tool designed to assist companies and professionals that need to deal with foreign exchange rates in their daily work.
It is the first in his class that allows users to choose between a wide and increasing list of major financial institutions, providing daily spot exchange rates and historical series, when they are available.
In a different approach to solutions based on API services, like the ones offered by OANDA and others, we have developed a tool for Windows (tm) that is both a versatile exchange rates retriever and a powerful calculator. And it also comes with additional Clipboard Integration & Advanced Table Conversion exclusive technologies.
Central Banks as exchange rates providers
Almost any country in the world has a Banking institution that administers the monetary policy and publishes a daily report with their current foreign exchange rates. Even more, in an increasing number of developed countries, these institutions have adopted industry standards like xml and json to share this free public information.
Although we don’t discard to offer real time updates in the future, we believe that many companies they are just fine with daily updates, especially if they come from trusted, official institutions.
So, being all this free information available, why to pay more?
foxer does not need any special API development or integration. Our application perfectly knows when to connect and how to deal with every specific publication, so you can get all the exchange rates you need, right from the source to your computer.
We have focused on the Central Banks of the G20’s most developed countries. Its members account for more than 80% of world GDP, 75% of global trade and 60% of the population of the planet.
Current version 10 now includes the Federal Reserve of the USA (FED), and South Africa Reserve Bank (SAR), making available 14 of G20’s members and a coverage of up to 82% of its GDP.
