Both rates are the same, but the buyback rate is displayed in a different format due to the way UK currency suppliers advertise their buyback rates. Learn more

Exchange rates can be displayed in different ways depending on the context. There's the Malaysian ringgit to pound exchange rate, and the Malaysian ringgit buyback rate. The two are in fact the same; they are just displayed differently.
The Malaysian ringgit to pound exchange rate corresponds to the value of one Malaysian ringgit in British pounds. For example, a Malaysian ringgit to pound rate of 0.1818 means one Malaysian ringgit is worth 0.1818 pounds.
In contrast, the Malaysian ringgit buyback rate corresponds to the amount of Malaysian ringgits you'd have to exchange to get one pound. For example, a Malaysian ringgit buyback rate of 5.5 means you'd have to exchange 5.5 Malaysian ringgits to get one pound.
UK currency suppliers prefer to show the Malaysian ringgit buyback rate instead of the Malaysian ringgit to pound exchange rate, so we follow the same format in our Malaysian ringgit comparisons. However, on this page, we use the Malaysian ringgit to pound exchange rate since this is what the data is intended to show.
The two rates are interchangeable: to convert the Malaysian ringgit buyback rate into the actual Malaysian ringgit to pound rate, just divide 1 by the Malaysian ringgit buyback rate, e.g.: 1 / 5.5 = 0.1818.
