Is it due to the imminent announcement of opening up the economy and coming out of lockdown. There’s a lot of news reports about 22 February and Boris showing us the way back to normality.

Yeah, best rate since the middle of 2016 when something happened.

ETA: Actually it was slightly higher in Feb/Mar 2018 - it got to $1.42. Hopefully, the rise will continue and we'll consistently see around $1.5 to the £ in the not-so-distant future (like the 'old' days!).

We've bought some and will get more if/as it rises. We're hoping it goes as high as poss as our hotels will be paid on arrival in $$.

That is the headline rate if you simply Google ‘Pound dollar’

The rates that you can get after paying commission are on the right hand side of your DIBB page.

Although, interestingly, if you actually go to send money with xe.com you'll only get $1.39 to the £.



So it looks like $1.41 is the base rate, not xe's rate.

You would get it using a specialist card like Jaja, horizons, clarity etc.
