About the British Pound and US Dollar
The British Pound (GBP) is the official currency of United Kingdom. The US Dollar (USD) is used in United States.
This page uses an indicative mid-market exchange rate — the same rate banks use among themselves. Retail conversions through your bank, debit card, or remittance service typically include a 1–4% spread on top of this rate, so the actual amount you receive will be a little lower.

- For larger transfers, services like Wise, Revolut or Western Union usually beat bank rates significantly.
- Avoid airport currency kiosks — their spread can exceed 8%.
- Check the rate at multiple times of day if you have flexibility; rates move continuously during business hours.
