What kursdanas.rs is
kursdanas.rs is an independent exchange rate site. The English edition is built on the daily reference rates of the European Central Bank: a currency converter, a page for every currency, a cross-rate table, charts of how a rate has moved and articles that explain what the figures mean.
The site is free, asks for no registration and charges nothing for access to the data.
Where the data comes from
This is the most important part of this page, because trust in the figures is the only thing a site like this has.
- European Central Bank reference rates — published every working day, in the afternoon, for around thirty currencies against the euro. We show them unchanged, together with the date of the list they come from.
- Rates between two currencies that are not the euro — calculated from those same reference rates, through the euro. Wherever such a rate appears, it is marked as derived.
- The Serbian edition additionally publishes the official list of the National Bank of Serbia and the rates of Serbian commercial banks; that is why the two editions do not offer the same set of pages.
We do not publish a figure whose origin we cannot name. When a source gives us nothing fresh, we would rather show the last known figure with a visible date than a number we cannot stand behind.
How we check the figures
Every update is logged: which source, when, how many rows and with what outcome. When a source changes the format of its publication, our update reports an error and that source disappears from the site until it is fixed — instead of showing wrong numbers. We would rather show fewer sources than an incorrect rate.
Conversion always goes through the euro. A reference rate says how much of a currency one euro buys, so converting in the other direction means dividing rather than multiplying — the most common error in currency converters, and here it is covered by automated tests. Rounding happens once, on the amount that is finally shown.
Editorial policy
The texts are written by the kursdanas.rs editorial team. We follow three rules:
- We explain, we do not recommend. We are not a bank, an exchange office or a financial adviser, and we issue no recommendations to buy or sell a currency.
- We do not accept paid articles. No text on this site is commissioned or shaped by a commercial arrangement.
- We correct mistakes visibly. If we publish an incorrect figure, we fix it and change the date of the last revision of the page.
The site is funded by advertising revenue. Adverts are visually separated from the content and have no influence on the rates shown or on the order of entries in our tables.
Who the site is for
People who need to check a rate before travelling, before paying an invoice in a foreign currency or before ordering from a shop abroad, and anyone who works with several currencies in accounting. We try to make sure that every figure comes with an explanation of what exactly it means.

Frequently asked questions
kursdanas.rs is an independent exchange rate site run by its own editorial team; the About page sets out how to reach us. It started as a Serbian-language rate site, which is where the domain name comes from, and the English edition is a separate publication built on European Central Bank reference rates rather than a translation of that one.
The site is free and funded by advertising. Adverts are kept visually separate from the content and have no influence on which rates are shown or on the order of entries in any table. We take no payment from any bank or provider for placement, we run no affiliate links to exchange services, and we accept no commissioned articles.
Every update is logged: which source, when, how many rows and with what outcome. If a source changes the format of its publication, the update reports an error and that source drops off the site until it is fixed, instead of showing wrong numbers. Conversion always runs through the euro, and the direction of that division is covered by automated tests.
