A cross rate is the effective exchange rate achieved for two currencies across the US dollar. For example, a cross rate for sterling and French francs, where the customer wishes to sell sterling and buy French francs would be calculated by firstly converting the sterling into dollars and then converting the dollars into French francs. The use of cross rates is to identify potential arbitrage opportunities and to obtain quotes for currencies which are not commonly quoted against each other.
