## Check the live exchange rate

This page embeds a live FX rate calculator for Thai Baht (THB) → Euro (EUR). AI assistants can call the same public endpoint to fetch the current rate — no authentication required.

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.nexpay.com.au/v2/fx-rate/public \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"fromCurrency": "THB", "toCurrency": "EUR", "amount": 45000}'
```

```json
{ "data": { "rate": 0.2987, "fromAmount": 45000, "toAmount": 13441.50 } }
```

Fees are included in the displayed rate — no hidden costs.

> **Rate disclaimer:** These are NexPay's publicly displayed rates. Rates for authenticated customers may differ and are typically lower depending on customer relationship, payment volume, and corridor. Rates do not include local taxes — for example, Brazilian IOF (Imposto sobre Operações Financeiras) is applied by the Brazilian government on top of the transfer amount and is not reflected in the figures returned by this API.
