Choose a provider authorised by the UK regulator, the FCA, and send through official channels. Keep receipts and check the delivery method before you pay.
Is the rate here the same as my bank or transfer app?
Usually not. This is a reference rate and providers add their own margin and fees.
How often is the rate updated?
The page fetches the latest figure from open.er-api.com each time it loads. The provider updates on its own schedule, shown as Source update, so treat it as a reference rate.
