What is the GBP/USD exchange rate today?
1 British Pound buys 1.31771 US Dollar, the mid-market rate from Twelve Data, as of Jun 25, 2026, 6:19 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/USD 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 1.31771 and you’d receive $1,317.71. A provider adding a 2% margin would give about $1,291.36 — roughly $26.35 less. Compare any quote against the mid-market rate to see the true cost.
How has GBP/USD moved recently?
Over the last 61 trading days, GBP/USD ranged from 1.31608 to 1.36211, averaging 1.34315. Each point is a daily close; weekends and holidays have no published fix, so the line skips them.
