What Savings Can You Expect?

Savings on Wise money transfers are substantial relative to banks and traditional money changers, although the amounts saved will of course depend on how much is being transferred.

Wise advertises that its transfers are “up to 8 times cheaper” than those performed by banks, but what does that mean in real currency terms? How many dollars, pounds, francs or pesos are we talking about? Let’s take a look.

Although Wise won’t be the absolute cheapest on every currency route, it will at least show you exactly how much you are being charged in currency terms before you make your decision, which is more than can be said for banks or traditional money changers, who hide all sorts of charges within the exchange rates offered.

Forecasts for GBP to INR

22 MayRecent analysis of the GBP to INR exchange rate offers an intriguing outlook amidst a backdrop of geopolitical and economic developments. Following the U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a 10% tariff on UK imports as part of a wider trade war, the British pound (GBP) experienced initial volatility. While the pound spiked following a surge in UK inflation reported in April, these gains were short-lived, as economists cautioned that the rise was driven by temporary factors and might not influence the Bank of England's (BoE) monetary policy direction significantly.

How to get a good GBP to INR exchange rate

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting British pound to Indian rupee:

Shop around for the best GBP/INR exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
Timing is important: Keep an eye on the GBP/INR rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both GBP and INR at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

Generally speaking, if you are buying Indian rupee with British pound, then it's better for the GBP/INR exchange rate to be higher.

However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).

The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.
