Where does the default exchange rate come from?

The rate box is pre-filled with the latest mid-market reference rate from our rate table, which is checked every hour against a public feed of daily reference rates. The line under the box shows when the rate was last updated and its source. Banks and card providers add a spread, so type your bank's rate over it when you need the exact amount.

How do I get today's GBP to CAD rate?

Visit xe.com, Google Finance, or your bank's website and search for "GBP CAD". Use the mid-market rate for reference, or your bank's buy/sell rate if you are actually exchanging money. Then type it into the Exchange Rate field above.

Can I convert CAD back to GBP?

Yes. Click the swap arrows button between the two fields to reverse the conversion direction. The exchange rate adjusts automatically so the math stays correct.

How accurate is the conversion?

The arithmetic is exact to the precision JavaScript supports. Results are displayed rounded to 2 decimal places, which matches standard currency formatting. The only source of inaccuracy is the exchange rate you supply.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. Everything runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No amounts, rates, or personal information are transmitted to any server.

What is the difference between the mid-market rate and my bank's rate?

The mid-market rate is the midpoint between global buy and sell prices — a neutral reference. Banks and exchange services add a spread (margin) on top, so the rate you actually receive will differ. For large sums, compare rates from multiple providers.

How much is 100 GBP in CAD?

Multiply 100 by the GBP to CAD rate. The rate box above is pre-filled with the latest reference rate, so type 100 in the GBP field to see the amount at today's rate. Your bank's figure will differ by its spread.

Is the Pound stronger than the Canadian Dollar?

Yes, GBP typically trades above 1.00 against CAD, meaning one Pound buys more than one Canadian Dollar. The exact rate fluctuates with economic conditions in both countries. Always check xe.com or your bank for the current rate.
