We kept getting quoted different rates for the same payment on the same day.

We kept getting quoted different exchange rates for the same payment on the same day, so we built a tool to check it.

We run a small team that pays contractors and vendors across a few currencies. Every so often the rate we got quoted felt off, but we had no easy way to check against the actual market rate in the moment, and asking the bank always got a vague answer.

So we built https://worldesk.ai/ . You can check the real market rate for any pair, get alerts when it moves, and if you're trying to figure out hedging or timing a payment around volatility, you can just talk to an fx specialist directly. It's free and there's no sign-up.

Still early days for us on this. Does anyone else here deal with this same problem paying international vendors or contractors? and if so, what are you currently doing about it, or are you just eating the bad rate like we used to.
