When to use USD → GBP

USD to GBP ("cable" in trader slang) settles primarily during London hours. The rate shown is the ECB-published GBP/EUR cross repriced into USD, so it inherits the ECB's once-daily refresh cadence. Sterling tends to move with UK economic data (CPI, BoE rate votes) and US-side payrolls. For traveller cash, GBP notes are widely circulated; high-street UK FX bureaus typically quote 2–4 % wider than the mid-market rate, and airport bureaus can run 8–12 % wider — withdraw from an ATM with a fee-free debit card for the closest you'll get to this number.

What is 1 GBP in USD?

Where do these rates come from?
The European Central Bank publishes daily reference rates around 16:00 CET. Convertitive consumes them through the Frankfurter open data service and refreshes its cache every hour.
How often is the rate updated?
Up to once per hour, and only when the ECB itself has issued a new value. Over weekends and holidays the displayed rate stays at the previous business day's close.
Why isn't this the rate my bank quotes?
Mid-market rates are a benchmark; retail banks and card networks add a spread on every conversion to cover their costs and margin. Expect that spread to be 1–3 % on most card transactions and 0.4–0.8 % at large brokers.
Can I use this for accounting or invoicing?
Use it as a reference. For official accounting, most jurisdictions require a documented rate from a central bank or your tax authority (which often publish their own daily values).
What's a 'mid-market' rate?
The midpoint between the buying and selling prices that wholesale banks quote each other. It's the closest thing to a 'real' rate for an individual to compare against.
