How is the GBP to USD rate set?

Rates come from the European Central Bank daily reference rates via the Frankfurter API, fetched in your browser. The ECB publishes them once each working day around 16:00 CET. GBP/USD is one of the most traded pairs in the world.

Need another pair? Try the Currency Converter, or value metals with the Gold Price Calculator. Banks and transfer firms add a margin, so the rate you receive will be a little worse than this reference rate.
