What does exchanging between USD and EUR cost?

The exchange is quoted before you confirm, with the rate and Align's fee shown separately. Your statement records the rate and the fee as their own line.

The wider picture

The key points from the guide this answer comes from:

  1. AlignPay holds your money in two Global Accounts: a USD Global Account, held as USDC and USDT, and a EUR Global Account, held as EURC.
  2. Payments to your named accounts land in a Global Account: US dollars in USD, euros in EUR, and pounds and dirhams converted into USD.
  3. You can exchange between USD and EUR in Convert, and pay out by bank in USD, EUR, GBP or AED, or send stablecoins to a wallet. When you send stablecoins, Align pays the network fee.
  4. Outside the screens where you send or receive crypto, AlignPay shows your money in dollars and euros, not tokens and networks.
