xe.com (XE Currency Converter)

“Rule of Simplicity continues…” There are some websites, you can’t write much about it because they solve the purpose of helping you without going very ga.ga. About it. Some websites like google, lyricsworld have so little to write about when it comes to content, they solve the purpose. XE.com When I first found this website some years ago, I found it so funny with short title and I thought it to be some porn website because of the word X in the name. But when I went to this site, it looked more of a educational website by some university but it was not, it was a website for all the users on ... more

This is just the handiest place for anyone who shops at e-tailers in other countries, wonders about travel currency or performs any type of international transaction. Basically it's just a page where you tap in the currency you want to convert from, and the amount, plus the currency you want it translated into and in seconds it's worked it all out for you. Every currency I've ever needed is there - and quite a few more besides. You can also sign up to have world exchange rates emailed to you. This is one of very few sites which never seems to be out of action. It's at: http://www.xe.net/ucc/ ... more

xe.com claims that its company's main priority is to 'facilitate the globalization of commerce' and as such offers you a currency conversion site(well its a start I suppose) - in fact if their claim is true, they are the 'world’s MOST popular currency conversion site'! Whether you believe them or not, who cares as long as they deliver the goods right? Well they do. Its a very simple site to navigate and use despite their obvious attempts to make it look a little more complex and detailed by adding all sorts of plainly irrelevant and pointless company information. The actual currency ... more

When you shop online as much as I do then you need to know what you’re paying. Obviously UK sites have the price plain and simple. However there is more money to be saved by buying abroad. Exchanges rates always differ from day to day so you always need a quick and easy conversion to find out whether that DVD you’re buying from the USA is actually cheaper. With this in mind I always use the XE currency converter website. One of the reasons is that it’s updated every few minutes to cope with any sudden market changes. But the main reason is that its web address is incredibly easy to remember ... more

xe.com is a currency conversion website, useful for checking currency rates in almost every currency in the world, even obselete ones, I'm not sure what these obselete currency checks are for, possibly research, but other users to the site will be currency dealers and general public wanting to check how much they should get for their holiday cash exchanges. Personally I find it useful, and almost always have it in my recent sites drop down bar, because i'm often checking hotels or airlines online that don't list prices in GBP. The only thing I find with the site, is that I nearly always have ... more

I have minimal need for a currency conversion site so when I do use them for either business or pleasure I want something that is simple and easy to use. I have used in the past a variety of sites and found that many are complex or you need to get through a number of screens before you get the answer you want. This is not the case with xe.com, which has now become the sole site I use for this. First off, the name is great and very easy to remember. This might not be a huge deal for many but if you use a variety of computers (home, work, girlfriends house, parents, etc...) you need one you can ... more
