How the spread works
The Bank quotes two rates for every foreign currency: a buy rate and a sell rate. The difference between them is the spread, and it is how banks cover the cost of holding foreign currency.
If you are converting a foreign currency into Nepali Rupees, the bank is buying the foreign currency from you. They apply the lowerbuy rate.
If you are converting Nepali Rupees into a foreign currency (for example, to pay university fees abroad), the bank is selling the foreign currency to you. They apply the higher sell rate.
