About the South Korean Won
The official currency of South Korea, a major player in the global tech industry.
On this page you'll find today's KRW exchange rate against every major world currency, sourced from the European Central Bank's daily reference rates. The ECB publishes one official mid-market rate per business day at approximately 16:00 Central European Time — the same benchmark used by financial institutions, journalists, and accountants when a single reliable number is required.
How to read these KRW rates
Each rate shows how many units of the target currency you get for one KRW. So if KRW to EUR reads 0.92, one KRW buys 0.92 euros. To go the other way, divide 1 by the rate, or use the reverse-pair page linked next to each conversion.
Remember: ECB reference rates are mid-market — the midpoint between what banks pay and receive in the wholesale interbank market. Your retail bank, card provider, or exchange bureau will apply a margin on top. Fintech cards typically stay within 0.5% of this rate; high-street banks add 1–3%; airport bureaux can add 5% or more.

Frequently asked about KRW
Where do the KRW rates on this page come from?
Directly from the European Central Bank's daily reference publication. The ECB gathers quotes from a panel of major banks around 14:10 CET and publishes the midpoint shortly after 16:00 CET each business day. We refresh against that feed automatically.
Why does the KRW rate here differ from what my bank quotes?
The ECB rate is the mid-market benchmark. Banks and money-transfer services add a margin — that's how they earn on the transaction. Comparing their quote against the mid-market rate is the fastest way to see whether you're getting a fair deal.
Can I use these KRW rates for accounting or invoicing?
Yes — ECB reference rates are widely accepted for accounting, tax reporting, and cross-border invoicing in the EU and elsewhere. Confirm the required source with your local tax authority; many explicitly reference the ECB feed.
