Chart points are official ECB daily reference observations via Frankfurter, not intraday prices. Weekends and ECB holidays may have no observations. Historical performance does not predict future exchange rates.
How is GBP to USD calculated?
We use ECB reference rates quoted against the euro. The GBP to USD cross-rate equals the EUR-to-USD rate divided by the EUR-to-GBP rate for the same observation date. The amount is multiplied by that cross-rate.
Will I receive this rate at the Post Office or M&S Travel Money?
Not necessarily. Banks and travel-money providers apply their own customer exchange rates and may charge fees. Check the provider's actual offer before exchanging money.
