Sending money to India can be an expensive business, more so if you aren’t even aware of all the hidden fees. Money transfer companies and banks profit by charging you fees and a normally hidden margin on the exchange rate.
Using your Bank to make international wire transfers to India can be especially expensive – often 5% to 10% worse than using a foreign exchange specialist to send to India bank accounts or pay a Indian rupee invoice.
The Western Union GBP to INR exchange rate is 114.31. This is -1.5% compared to the latest GBP-INR mid-market rate 116.06.
As exchange rates can vary significantly between banks and also between currency exchange providers, it's therefore important to carefully compare British pound (GBP) to Indian rupee (INR) rates from different sources before making a conversion.

It's important to note that exchange rates also fluctuate frequently due to market conditions. Additionally, banks and foreign exchange providers often apply a margin to the exchange rate, resulting in a less favorable rate for customers compared to the mid-market rate. For more competitive rates, you might consider using a specialized currency exchange service like Western Union or platforms that offer rates closer to the mid-market rate.
