Forecasts for GBP to PLN

 

The GBP to PLN exchange rate has been experiencing volatility amidst shifting dynamics in both the British pound and the Polish zloty. The Pound (GBP) has been under pressure due to comments from Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey hinting at potential interest rate cuts in the future, leading to a selloff and predictions of further weakening against major currencies such as the US dollar. FX analysts are forecasting a bearish outlook for the GBP, with HSBC predicting a decline to $US1.20 and RBC expecting a fall towards $US1.15 in the second half of the year. This negative sentiment is further exacerbated by concerns over political uncertainty in the UK and a possible stagflationary environment in the upcoming months, which are seen as additional risks for the pound.

How to get a good GBP to PLN exchange rate

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Pound Sterling to Polish zloty:

  1. Shop around for the best GBP/PLN 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/PLN 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 PLN 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 Polish zloty with Pound Sterling, then it's better for the GBP/PLN 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 Polish zloty?

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.
