How we display buy back rates
You might notice the Saudi riyal rates shown here are different to the Saudi riyal rates offered by currency suppliers on our comparison pages. The rates are actually the same but are just presented in different ways. When we talk about the SAR / GBP exchange rate, we show the SAR rate relative to the pound so a rate of 0.2145 literally means 1 SAR = 0.2145 GBP.
However, UK currency suppliers choose to show this rate in terms of the amount of Saudi riyals you would need to exchange to receive 1 GBP, so (1 /) 0.2145 becomes 4.661. Or put another way, 4.661 SAR = 1 GBP. The two rates are interchangeable but currency suppliers prefer to show the second rate which they call the buy back rate.
