Interbank Rate vs Retail Tourist Spread

The exchange rate published on Google and financial news is the mid-market 'interbank' rate, accessible only to central banks and billion-dollar financial institutions.

Retail consumers, credit card transactions, and airport currency booths charge hidden spreads between 1.5% and 5.0% on top of the mid-market rate.
