Forecasts for GBP to RUB

 

The GBP to RUB exchange rate is currently trading above its 3-month average at 116.8, reflecting a slightly stronger British Pound against the Russian Ruble. FX analysts are closely monitoring the ongoing impact of the Bank of England's dovish interest rate stance on the Pound which is expected to exert downward pressure on the currency in the near term. With expectations of potential interest rate cuts in the coming months, the Pound may face further challenges against the Ruble.

How to get a good GBP to RUB exchange rate

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Pound Sterling to Russian ruble:

  1. Shop around for the best GBP/RUB 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/RUB 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 RUB 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 Russian ruble with Pound Sterling, then it's better for the GBP/RUB 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 Russian ruble?

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/RUB to your personalised Rate Tracker to track and benefit from currency movements.
