How to get the best CAD to GBP rate
The rate shown above is the interbank mid-market rate — the real exchange rate used between financial institutions. Individual customers cannot access this rate directly. Banks typically add a 2–3% spread on top, meaning you receive significantly less than the rate shown.
Online transfer services like Wise offer rates very close to the interbank rate with a small transparent fee of 0.5–1%. On a $1,000 CAD exchange this typically saves $15–25 compared to a bank. Airport exchange booths charge the highest fees — often 5–8% above the interbank rate — and should be avoided for large amounts.
