Exchange rates can be displayed in different ways depending on the context. There's the Kuwaiti dinar to pound exchange rate, and the Kuwaiti dinar buyback rate. The two are in fact the same; they are just displayed differently.
The Kuwaiti dinar to pound exchange rate corresponds to the value of one Kuwaiti dinar in British pounds. For example, a Kuwaiti dinar to pound rate of 0.3846 means one Kuwaiti dinar is worth 0.3846 pounds.
In contrast, the Kuwaiti dinar buyback rate corresponds to the amount of Kuwaiti dinars you'd have to exchange to get one pound. For example, a Kuwaiti dinar buyback rate of 2.6 means you'd have to exchange 2.6 Kuwaiti dinars to get one pound.
UK currency suppliers prefer to show the Kuwaiti dinar buyback rate instead of the Kuwaiti dinar to pound exchange rate, so we follow the same format in our Kuwaiti dinar comparisons. However, on this page, we use the Kuwaiti dinar to pound exchange rate since this is what the data is intended to show.
The two rates are interchangeable: to convert the Kuwaiti dinar buyback rate into the actual Kuwaiti dinar to pound rate, just divide 1 by the Kuwaiti dinar buyback rate, e.g.: 1 / 2.6 = 0.3846.
