What Exchange Rate Does Fiverr Use?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:44 pm

Fiverr is a global online marketplace offering services from graphic design and video editing to digital marketing and programming. Services are offered by freelancers who set their own prices and Fiverr takes a 20% cut of each transaction.

Fiverr is headquartered in Israel but also has offices in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Germany. The company was founded in 2010 and as of 2019, it has over 10 million users.

Fiverr operates in three currencies: USD, GBP, and EUR. The base currency is USD but users can also pay in GBP or EUR. Prices on the website are displayed in USD but users can see the converted price in their chosen currency on the checkout page.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking of using Fiverr to exchange currency, be aware that the exchange rate they use may not be the most favorable. Make sure to check the current rates before proceeding.

When a user pays in a currency other than USD, Fiverr uses the real-time exchange rate to convert the price into USD. For example, if a service costs $5 and the user pays in GBP, Fiverr will use the current GBP/USD exchange rate to calculate the price in USD. As of writing this article, the GBP/USD exchange rate is 1.30 so the user would be charged $6.50 (1.30 x 5).

The same goes for users who pay in EUR. Fiverr will use the real-time EUR/USD exchange rate to calculate the price in USD. As of writing this article, the EUR/USD exchange rate is 1.18 so a service that costs €5 would be charged $5.90 (1.18 x 5).

To summarise, Fiverr uses the real-time exchange rate to convert prices into USD at checkout. This means that prices can fluctuate depending on the current market rates.
