Indicative mid-market rates from open.er-api.com, refreshed hourly · last updated Sun, 25 Oct 2026 00:02:31 +0000. Banks, bureaux de change and mobile-money services apply their own margin, so the rate you are offered will differ.
What you actually get
The rate above is a mid-market rate: the midpoint between what banks pay for a currency and what they sell it for. Nobody trades at it for long. A bank, a bureau de change or a mobile-money service quotes its own rate, and the gap between that and the mid-market rate is how it earns. The table below shows what the gap costs on 1,000,000 TZS.
| Provider margin | You receive (GBP) | Cost of the margin |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-market (0%) | 283.16 | — |
| 1% margin | 280.33 | −2.83 |
| 2% margin | 277.49 | −5.66 |
| 4% margin | 271.83 | −11.33 |
The margins are illustrative, not quoted rates — they show what a given margin costs, so you can judge the rate you are offered. The Bank of Tanzania publishes the official reference rates for the shilling: Bank of Tanzania exchange rates.
About these currencies
TZS — Tanzanian Shilling. The Tanzanian Shilling is issued by the Bank of Tanzania and is divided into 100 cents, though cents are no longer used in practice. Banknotes run from 500 to 10,000 shillings. Prices for fuel, rent and mobile money are quoted in shillings, so a TZS rate tells you what your money is worth locally.
GBP — Pound Sterling. Pound sterling is issued by the Bank of England and is the oldest currency still in circulation. It matters to Tanzania for tourism, for British aid and charity funding, and for imports priced in sterling.
