What is the GBP/CAD exchange rate today?

1 British Pound buys 1.88149 Canadian Dollar, the mid-market rate from Twelve Data, as of Aug 13, 2026, 2:49 AM UTC. The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices banks trade at — the fair reference rate, not the price you’ll be charged.

How often does the GBP/CAD rate update?

The live rate refreshes about once a minute, and every reading is stamped with its own UTC time so you always know how fresh it is. Past daily points are immutable — once a day closes, its rate never changes.

Why is this different from my bank’s rate?

The rate here is mid-market; banks and apps quote a slightly worse rate and keep the difference as their margin. For example, change £1,000.00 at 1.88149 and you’d receive CA$1,881.49. A provider adding a 2% margin would give about CA$1,843.86 — roughly CA$37.63 less. Compare any quote against the mid-market rate to see the true cost.

How has GBP/CAD moved recently?

Over the last 64 trading days, GBP/CAD ranged from 1.83745 to 1.90315, averaging 1.87562. Each point is a daily close; weekends and holidays have no published fix, so the line skips them.
