What is the GBP/ZAR exchange rate today?
1 British Pound buys 21.9935 South African Rand, the mid-market rate from Twelve Data, as of Oct 7, 2026, 5:59 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 21.9935 and you’d receive ZAR 21,993.49. A provider adding a 2% margin would give about ZAR 21,553.62 — roughly ZAR 439.87 less. Compare any quote against the mid-market rate to see the true cost.
How has GBP/ZAR moved recently?
Over the last 64 trading days, GBP/ZAR ranged from 21.5931 to 22.4509, averaging 21.9058. Each point is a daily close; weekends and holidays have no published fix, so the line skips them.
