What is the GBP/KES exchange rate today?
1 British Pound buys 170.87 Kenyan Shilling, the mid-market rate from Twelve Data, as of Jun 26, 2026, 12:04 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/KES 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 170.87 and you’d receive KES 170,870.21. A provider adding a 2% margin would give about KES 167,452.81 — roughly KES 3,417.40 less. Compare any quote against the mid-market rate to see the true cost.
