Live ECB-based rates

This converter pulls the GBP to NZD rate from the frankfurter API, which republishes the European Central Bank's daily euro reference rates. Type any amount of British pounds and the New Zealand dollars total updates as you type, with the current rate shown as a "1 GBP = X NZD" line plus the time it was last refreshed.

Cached for speed, honest about limits

The fetched rate is stored in your browser's localStorage for 6 hours, so the tool works instantly on repeat visits and survives short connection drops. If the rate service is unreachable and no cached rate exists, the page shows a clear error instead of a stale number. Remember this is a mid-market reference rate: real exchanges add fees and spreads.
