Exchange rates can be displayed in different ways depending on the context. There's the Icelandic kronur to pound exchange rate, and the Icelandic kronur buyback rate. The two are in fact the same; they are just displayed differently.
The Icelandic kronur to pound exchange rate corresponds to the value of one Icelandic kronur in British pounds. For example, a Icelandic kronur to pound rate of 0.0063 means one Icelandic kronur is worth 0.0063 pounds.
In contrast, the Icelandic kronur buyback rate corresponds to the amount of Icelandic krona you'd have to exchange to get one pound. For example, a Icelandic kronur buyback rate of 160 means you'd have to exchange 160 Icelandic krona to get one pound.
UK currency suppliers prefer to show the Icelandic kronur buyback rate instead of the Icelandic kronur to pound exchange rate, so we follow the same format in our Icelandic kronur comparisons. However, on this page, we use the Icelandic kronur to pound exchange rate since this is what the data is intended to show.
The two rates are interchangeable: to convert the Icelandic kronur buyback rate into the actual Icelandic kronur to pound rate, just divide 1 by the Icelandic kronur buyback rate, e.g.: 1 / 160 = 0.0063.
