Exchange rates can be displayed in different ways depending on the context. There's the Singapore dollar to pound exchange rate, and the Singapore dollar buyback rate. The two are in fact the same; they are just displayed differently.
The Singapore dollar to pound exchange rate corresponds to the value of one Singapore dollar in British pounds. For example, a Singapore dollar to pound rate of 0.5882 means one Singapore dollar is worth 0.5882 pounds.
In contrast, the Singapore dollar buyback rate corresponds to the amount of Singapore dollars you'd have to exchange to get one pound. For example, a Singapore dollar buyback rate of 1.7 means you'd have to exchange 1.7 Singapore dollars to get one pound.
UK currency suppliers prefer to show the Singapore dollar buyback rate instead of the Singapore dollar to pound exchange rate, so we follow the same format in our Singapore dollar comparisons. However, on this page, we use the Singapore dollar to pound exchange rate since this is what the data is intended to show.
The two rates are interchangeable: to convert the Singapore dollar buyback rate into the actual Singapore dollar to pound rate, just divide 1 by the Singapore dollar buyback rate, e.g.: 1 / 1.7 = 0.5882.
