Dynamic currency conversion may be accomplished using a currency conversion rate server (8). The server intermittently sends requests to one or more financial institutions to return current realtime currency conversion rate information, the requests (2) spaced apart by a short period of time. It then receives the current realtime currency conversion rate information from the one or more financial institutions (10, 12, 14, 16) and stores them in a currency conversion rate database (8). When a request is received from a subscriber (2) for a near-realtime currency conversion rate, the server (6) receives one or more records from the currency conversion rate database indicating the near-realtime currency conversion rate and forwards them to the subscriber (2). |
