Before you exchange

A useful reference. Your actual quote may differ.

01

Pounds into yen

GBP is the British pound; JPY is the Japanese yen. Each pound converts into a large number of yen, so a small slip in mental math can be costly. Multiply by the GBP/JPY rate above, or swap to check a yen price in pounds.

02

Know your card’s fees

Some UK cards charge a fee on every foreign purchase or cash withdrawal, others charge none. Check yours before you travel. When a terminal offers to charge you in pounds, choosing yen usually avoids an extra conversion margin.

03

Keep a reference in your pocket

In the Android app, save the pairs you use, compare several currencies and enter your own exchange rate. Download rates before you leave to keep a reference available offline.

How many yen will I get for 100 pounds?

Enter 100 in the converter or find it in the table of common amounts. The result uses the latest available GBP/JPY rate. An exchange office or card may give you a little less after its margin and fees.

Can I convert a yen price into pounds?

Yes. Tap the swap button. The converter and the table of common amounts switch to JPY to GBP.

How up to date is the conversion?

The timestamp below the result tells you when the rate data was updated, in your local time. The page requests the latest available data when opened and refreshes while in use. It does not stream market prices. If an update fails, it can keep using data less than 24 hours old with a visible notice. Otherwise, it shows an unavailable state.

Will I receive exactly this amount when exchanging money?

Not necessarily. This is an indicative conversion. Your provider may use a different exchange rate and apply fees. Check the final quote with your bank or exchange office before exchanging.
