Pound Rate

Information on the pound and rupee rate

About this site

A gold coin and a silver coin standing in front of a glowing orange curve of light on a dark blue background.

Pound Rate explains in plain English what the pound and rupee rate is, how it is formed and why a bank, a transfer provider and the news can show different numbers.

What this site offers

Plain guides, a glossary, answers to common questions, and a currency converter that uses the European Central Bank's reference rates and shows the trend over 30 days, 90 days or a year.

What this site does not do

It does not quote provider prices or fees, compare providers, send rate alerts, give advice or move money. The content is for information only and is not financial advice.

Rates

A rate is worth showing only with its date and its source. The converter prints both beside every figure, and the figure is a reference rate, not a quote. Check the current rate and the fees with the provider you plan to use before you act.
