    Forecasts for GBP to HUF

     

    The GBP to HUF exchange rate has recently experienced notable pressure, particularly following the release of disappointing UK GDP figures. The latest data revealed a mere 0.1% growth in November, falling short of the anticipated 0.2%. This underperformance has led to a softening of the pound, with FX analysts highlighting the volatility associated with GBP/USD, which is heavily influenced by various economic indicators, including GDP and retail sales data. As the market anticipates upcoming retail sales figures, there is potential for a slight rebound; however, uncertainty from ongoing post-Brexit negotiations continues to cloud the outlook for the pound.

    How to get a good GBP to HUF exchange rate

    There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting British pound to Hungarian forint:

    1. Shop around for the best GBP/HUF 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/HUF 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 HUF 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 Hungarian forint with British pound, then it's better for the GBP/HUF 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.
