The above Sterling to Yen comparison table makes it easy to compare the Total Fees (both variable and fixed) you are being charged vs the latest GBP-JPY mid-rate (see below) and the possible savings of using another provider.

 
@bestfxrates : FX analysts eye GBP/JPY volatility as UK wage concerns & BoE rate cut prospects contrast with BoJ's possible bullish shift. With GBP/JPY at 189.1, near 3-month norms, watch for central bank cues & economic data to sway this pairing. USD/JPY & oil prices may also impact JPY's path. #ForexUpdate #GBPJPY2024

Forecasts for GBP to JPY

 

Based on recent forecasts and market updates, the GBP to JPY exchange rate is showing signs of potential volatility in the near future. Analysts predict conflicting scenarios for the two currencies, with the Pound (GBP) facing challenges due to disappointing UK wage growth and expectations of a potential interest rate cut by the Bank of England (BoE). On the other hand, the Japanese Yen (JPY) is expected to find support if the Bank of Japan (BoJ) adopts a bullish stance amidst a mixed domestic economic backdrop.

How to get a good GBP to JPY exchange rate

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Pound Sterling to Japanese yen:

  1. Shop around for the best GBP/JPY 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.
  2. Timing is important: Keep an eye on the GBP/JPY 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both GBP and JPY at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
  5. 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 Japanese yen with Pound Sterling, then it's better for the GBP/JPY 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.

It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.

Will the Pound Sterling rise against the Japanese yen?

It is almost impossible to predict what an exchange rate will do in the future, the best approach is to monitor the currency markets and transact when an exchange rate moves in your favour.

To help with this you can add GBP/JPY to your personalised Rate Tracker to track and benefit from currency movements.
