Our Data Methodology
How we source, validate, and deliver institutional-grade exchange rate data with multi-provider redundancy and rigorous quality controls.
Built for Accuracy & Reliability
Financial applications demand data you can trust. That's why we've built a robust data pipeline that sources rates from multiple independent providers, validates every data point before ingestion, and maintains redundancy across our entire infrastructure.
Every exchange rate in our system goes through a multi-step validation process before it's made available via our API. This ensures you receive clean, accurate data that you can rely on for financial calculations, reporting, and real-time applications.
Multi-Provider Data Sources
We aggregate data from multiple independent sources to ensure accuracy and eliminate single points of failure. If one provider experiences issues, others maintain data continuity.

Provider Redundancy
For major currency pairs (G10 currencies), we maintain at least 3 independent data sources. This redundancy ensures that temporary outages or data quality issues from any single provider don't affect the rates we deliver to you.
Data Validation Pipeline
Every data point passes through our rigorous validation pipeline before being included in our dataset. This ensures you receive only high-quality, verified exchange rates.
Multi-Source Collection
Each rate is collected from multiple independent data providers simultaneously to ensure accuracy and availability.
Cross-Validation
Rates are compared across providers. Outliers that deviate significantly from the median are flagged and excluded.
Temporal Consistency
Historical rate changes are analyzed to detect anomalies that could indicate data errors or manipulation.
Business Logic Checks
Triangular arbitrage checks and currency relationship validation ensure mathematical consistency.
Quality Scoring
Each data point receives a confidence score. Only rates meeting our quality threshold are published.
