Frequently asked
How much is 1 JPY in GBP today?
1 JPY is currently 0.004651 GBP. The reverse rate is 1 GBP = 215.0283 JPY. This is the live mid-market rate (the midpoint of the buy and sell prices on the wholesale FX market) — the same reference rate central banks and large institutions use.
Is the JPY to GBP mid-market rate the same as my bank's rate?
Usually no. Banks and money-changers quote a retail rate that bakes in their margin (often 2–5% on emerging-market pairs, sometimes more for cash transactions). The mid-market rate shown here has no markup added — it's the wholesale benchmark before any institution's spread.
How often does the JPY → GBP rate update?
Fullness refreshes its rate book at the top of every hour. The price you see is the most recent snapshot from HMRC (Central bank). For pairs not quoted directly by the source, the rate is computed via USD as a bridge using the same mid-market data — the page tells you which method was used.
Why does the rate move during the day?
Foreign-exchange markets are open 24 hours a day on business days, and the mid-market rate moves continuously based on global trading volume, central-bank actions, and macroeconomic news. Hourly snapshots are accurate at the moment they're captured but not guaranteed to be the exact rate you'd see seconds later.
