What moves the JPY/GBP rate
The Japanese Yen is mainly influenced by Bank of Japan policy, the interest rate gap between Japan and other economies, and the yen's use as a safe haven. The British Pound is mainly influenced by Bank of England rate decisions, UK inflation and the UK's large services and financial sector. When these forces push the two currencies in different directions, the JPY/GBP rate moves; when they move together, the rate tends to stay steadier.
How this rate is calculated
Rates are fetched from Frankfurter, which publishes the European Central Bank's daily reference rates (updated once per working day), and from ExchangeRate-API for currencies the ECB does not cover. All rates are stored against the euro, so the JPY/GBP figure is a cross rate: the euro value of GBP divided by the euro value of JPY. These are indicative mid-market reference rates and may differ from the rates offered by banks, card issuers and payment providers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert JPY to GBP?
Enter an amount in Japanese Yen and the converter multiplies it by the latest daily JPY/GBP reference rate to show the value in British Pound. To go the other way, GBP to JPY, divide by the same rate or use the swap button.
Where does the JPY to GBP rate come from?
Rates come from Frankfurter, which republishes daily European Central Bank reference rates, with ExchangeRate-API filling in currencies the ECB does not publish. They are cached in your browser for up to an hour.
Is this the JPY to GBP rate my bank will give me?
No. These are mid-market, indicative rates. Banks, card providers and transfer services usually add a margin or fee, so the British Pound you actually receive is typically a little lower.
