Question: Where does Microsoft Money get the currency exchange rates it downloads?

Microsoft Money automates exchange rates. Managing multiple currencies in Microsoft Money is an easy task.

Answer: Microsoft Money downloads currency exchange rates from MSN Money, where exchange rates can also be viewed online. The currency exchange rates are delayed by 60 minutes in Microsoft Money.

Microsoft Money uses the downloaded currency exchange rates when calculating account balances, investments and default values when transferring between accounts.
