Frequently asked questions
The GBP/EUR rate fluctuates daily. Historically one pound buys between €1.05 and €1.25. The converter shows the current market rate. As a guide, if the rate is €1.15, then £100 is worth €115.
Online platforms such as Wise or Revolut consistently offer rates close to the interbank benchmark. High-street banks and airport bureaux de change typically charge higher margins. If you travel frequently between the UK and eurozone, a multi-currency account can simplify the process.
Following the 2016 referendum, the pound fell sharply against the euro — one of the largest single-day drops in decades. The rate has partially recovered since then, but uncertainty around UK-EU trade relationships and economic divergence continues to influence the pound's value against the euro.
International bank transfers from GBP to EUR typically incur a transaction fee and a less favourable exchange rate than the market benchmark. Services such as Wise, Revolut, or SEPA-compatible fintech platforms usually offer lower costs for GBP-to-EUR payments than traditional high-street banks.
