TL;DR

For a better rate, make transfers on weekdays during the main market session, roughly 10:00–19:00. On weekends and outside these hours the spread is usually worse, although cash withdrawals from a linked card can be done anytime.

What the community said

Use 18:00 as the cutoff for exchange-traded quotes: once the market closes, current market pricing is no longer available, so it is better to make the transaction earlier.

The most practical approach is to make transfers only on business days during the main trading session. According to traveler experience, this is when the exchange rate is usually closest to the normal market rate.

weekdays, market trading hours

A useful time window is about 10:00 to 19:00. Outside that period, banks and transfer services often widen the spread, making the exchange or transfer less favorable.

Avoid transfers on weekends, and if the rate matters, try not to withdraw then either. Travelers also recommend linking the account to the bank card in advance — after that, cash can be withdrawn anytime, but the exchange rate is still usually better on weekdays.
