The comparison savings are based on a single transfer from GBP 20,000 to USD. Savings are calculated by comparing the exchange rate including margins and fees provided by each bank and Xe on the same day 11/4/2026. The comparison savings provided are only accurate for the given example and may not include all costs and charges. Different currency exchange amounts, currency types, dates, times, and other individual factors will result in different comparison savings. These results may therefore not be indicative of actual savings and should be used for guidance only. The rate comparison chart is updated quarterly.
