How we calculate these rates
Coinnect pulls live rates from exchange APIs (Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, Wise, and others) every 3 minutes. For providers without live APIs, we use published fee schedules verified quarterly against World Bank data. Total cost includes exchange rate markup + transfer fees. Routes are ranked by total cost to the recipient — never by partnerships or commissions. Read our methodology.
