We make a profit by charging a fee for foreign exchange (FX) conversions. The rate's variable, but we work it out by adding 0.50% to the FX rate, which is always displayed.
Here's an example
Simple FX currency conversion, without the CMC Invest FX fee:
£100 (GBP) x 1.321 (example FX rate) = $132.10 (USD)
We take the current rate of 1.321 and multiply it by 0.005 (0.50%) to get our CMC Invest fee = 0.00661. We always round this number to 5 decimal points. This rate is then applied to the amount you want to convert.
Here's an example
£100 (GBP) x 0.00661 = $0.66 (USD)
So, you'll get $132.10 (USD) from the simple FX conversion, minus our fee of $0.66 (USD), which is $131.44 (USD).

Our Core plan gives you access to a general investment account, £0 commission per trade (standard charges apply), 3,000+ US shares, Large-cap UK shares, 400+ ETFs and Investment Trusts, ESG ratings, Bull vs Bear insights, and 2% interest on settled cash.
