Is this the JPY to GBP rate you will get?
The rate above is the mid-market rate: the midpoint between what buyers and sellers pay on global currency markets. It is the fairest benchmark, but it is rarely what you receive.
- Banks and exchange houses usually add a margin to the mid-market rate, often 1–3% or more.
- Money transfer apps may offer a rate closer to mid-market but charge a fixed fee.
- Compare the total the recipient will get, after fees, rather than the headline rate.
