To analyze exchange rates, we use the exchange rate markup (also called FX margin) — the difference between the mid-market exchange rate^ⓘThe mid-market exchange rate (also called the interbank rate) is the real AED to JOD exchange rate before providers add their margin or fees. and the rate your provider actually offers you.
