The British Pound (GBP) and the Euro (EUR) have both been subject to recent exchange rate analyst forecasts that paint a cautious picture for their future performance against the US Dollar (USD). Currency strategists from Wells Fargo, TD Securities, and Danske Bank collectively suggest that the GBP could decline to 1.20 or lower against the USD by early 2024, explaining the potential end to the Bank of England's policy tightening and the fragility of the Pound as contributing factors. HSBC and Barclays also reflected a less optimistic stance, recently shifting from their previously bullish perspectives. The Pound's volatility, influenced by political events such as Brexit and shifts in central bank policy, was highlighted when GBP/USD hit an all-time low since decimalization in September 2022, underscoring the momentum-driven nature of "Cable".

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Pound Sterling to Euro:
Generally speaking, if you are buying Euro with Pound Sterling, then it's better for the GBP/EUR 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.
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/EUR to your personalised BER Smart Rate Tracker to track and benefit from currency movements.
Rather than requiring you to set a target rate, our FX Alerts work differently. Once you add a currency pair for tracking in your watchlist we can select to be notified daily for any UP▲ DOWN▼ HIGH▲ LOW▼ alerts over a range of periods over the recent 90 days.
