What is the GBP/ZAR exchange rate today?
1 British Pound buys 21.8266 South African Rand, 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/ZAR 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 21.8266 and you’d receive ZAR 21,826.62. A provider adding a 2% margin would give about ZAR 21,390.08 — roughly ZAR 436.53 less. Compare any quote against the mid-market rate to see the true cost.
How has GBP/ZAR moved recently?
Over the last 61 trading days, GBP/ZAR ranged from 21.7069 to 22.735, averaging 22.1384. Each point is a daily close; weekends and holidays have no published fix, so the line skips them.
