Exchange rates can be displayed in different ways depending on the context. There's the New Zealand dollar to pound exchange rate, and the New Zealand dollar buyback rate. The two are in fact the same; they are just displayed differently.
The New Zealand dollar to pound exchange rate corresponds to the value of one New Zealand dollar in British pounds. For example, a New Zealand dollar to pound rate of 0.5263 means one New Zealand dollar is worth 0.5263 pounds.
In contrast, the New Zealand dollar buyback rate corresponds to the amount of New Zealand dollars you'd have to exchange to get one pound. For example, a New Zealand dollar buyback rate of 1.9 means you'd have to exchange 1.9 New Zealand dollars to get one pound.
UK currency suppliers prefer to show the New Zealand dollar buyback rate instead of the New Zealand dollar to pound exchange rate, so we follow the same format in our New Zealand dollar comparisons. However, on this page, we use the New Zealand dollar to pound exchange rate since this is what the data is intended to show.
The two rates are interchangeable: to convert the New Zealand dollar buyback rate into the actual New Zealand dollar to pound rate, just divide 1 by the New Zealand dollar buyback rate, e.g.: 1 / 1.9 = 0.5263.
