About the EUR/GBP exchange rate
EUR/GBP is Europe’s defining cross rate, tying together the continent’s two biggest financial centres. It is typically less volatile than dollar pairs but moves sharply on UK–EU political news — the 2016 Brexit referendum produced one of its largest single-day moves ever. The pair has never reached parity, peaking near 0.98 in late 2008.
Euro (EUR)
The Euro is the official currency of 20 European Union countries and the second-most traded currency in the world. Introduced in 1999 (cash from 2002), it replaced national currencies like the Deutsche Mark and French Franc. Its value reflects eurozone-wide inflation, ECB rate decisions, and the economic health of its largest members — Germany in particular.
British Pound (GBP)
The British Pound (sterling) is the world’s oldest currency still in use, dating back over 1,200 years, and the fourth-most traded globally. London’s status as a leading financial centre keeps GBP liquidity deep. The pound is sensitive to Bank of England rate decisions, UK inflation prints, and — since 2016 — headlines around UK–EU trade relations.

- What is the current EUR to GBP exchange rate?
- The live mid-market rate is shown at the top of this page and refreshes on every visit.
- Is this the rate I will get from my bank or transfer service?
- Not exactly. This page shows the mid-market rate — the midpoint between global buy and sell prices, and the fairest benchmark available. Banks and money-transfer services add a margin (typically 0.5%–4%) on top, plus possible fixed fees. Use the mid-market rate here to judge how good an offered EUR→GBP rate really is.
- How often is the EUR/GBP rate updated?
- Rates come from an open exchange-rate feed that updates daily, sourced from central-bank and market data. Euro rates are influenced by the European Central Bank (ECB), and British Pound rates by the Bank of England (BoE). For high-volatility pairs, always re-check just before you transact.
- Is my conversion data private?
- Yes. The amount you type never leaves your browser — only the public rate table for EUR is fetched over the network. No sign-up, no cookies required for the calculation, no limits.
