When I want to know the current exchange rates I usually check out xe.com. However I've noticed discrepancies on it as compared to the info I get on my PC from microsoft gadgets and also the rate is different on oanda.com and on bloomberg http://www.bloomberg.com/invest/calculators/currency.html. As of now approx 23:45 18 oct 08 xe.com iat €1 = $1.3459 the most different from the other 3 all around 1.341 on Euro vs Dollar, so it's making me think perhaps xe.com is not such a good choice after all for accurate info.

I presume these sites are quoting the interbank rates - I would have assumed incorrectly obviously that they should all be showing the same data.

Anyway - can anyone tell me which one is the most accurate or if there's any other site with more reliable up to date info.
