5,000 USD to GBP: Convert US Dollars to British Pounds

Currency exchange rates rise and fall constantly, so it's wise to keep an eye out for current market trends. Our goal is to give you easy access to the most updated info so you can find the best exchange rates for you.

Before converting US Dollars to British Pounds, use our currency converter, conversion tables, and price comparison widget to find today's exchange rates and compare different providers. Keep in mind that exchange rates fluctuate constantly, so always double-check the current rate before converting.

Depending on your plan, the amount you're exchanging, and the day of the week, you may pay a currency exchange fee. If you're sending USD to a GBP account, you may also pay a small transfer fee. You'll always see the total cost in-app before you exchange, along with the Revolut exchange rate.

Currency exchange fees

If the amount you're exchanging is within your plan’s fair usage limit, you won't pay any additional currency exchange fees on weekdays.

Depending on your plan, you may be charged a fee on all exchanges made outside of the foreign exchange market hours between 5:00 p.m. Friday and 6:00 p.m. Sunday, Eastern Time (ET). For Standard customers, this fee is 1%. Premium and Metal customers don't have to pay an additional fee.

If you're over your monthly exchange allowance, you'll pay an additional fair usage fee, depending on your plan (0.5% fee charged for exchanges over $1,000 or equivalent in Standard plan and 0.5% fee charged for exchanges over $10,000 on Premium). There are no fair usage fees with our Metal plans. These limits are set on a rolling monthly basis. You can check your fair usage limit and the date it will reset under Your plan in your profile.

Money transfer fees

When you send USD to a GBP account, you may pay a small transfer fee. This is the amount we charge to process your transfer. The total cost depends on the transfer method you choose, the destination country, and the amount you're sending, but don't worry — you'll see all costs live in-app before you send. You'll get discounts on these fees with our Premium and Metal plans. Heads up — external banks may charge non-Revolut transfer fees that we can't foresee.

If you're looking for no-fee money transfers, try a Revolut-to-Revolut transfer. You can send money to other Revolut friends in any of the 25+ supported currencies you hold, without having to convert.

For more information on your plan's fees, check out our terms and policies. Fees are subject to change, but you'll always see them in-app before you convert.

Although GBP isn't yet one of the 25+ supported currencies that you can keep and exchange in-app, you can still convert USD to GBP with us in 2 ways: by paying in British Pounds with your Revolut card while you're abroad or sending a money transfer to the UK.

International money transfers

You can make up to 100 exchanges every 24 hours, and there's no maximum amount you can exchange, no matter what plan you have.

However, there are fair usage limits for Standard and Plus customers.

Depending on your plan, there's a threshold of exchanges that can be made with no additional fees during the weekdays. This limit is called a fair usage limit.

• Standard: 0.5% fee charged for exchanges over $1,000 or equivalent
• Premium: 0.5% fee charged for exchanges over $10,000
• Metal: no additional exchange fees

These limits apply on a 30-day basis. You can keep track of all your currency conversions in-app.

We use two-factor authentication to make sure you're the only one who can log in to your account, and we'll send you anti-fraud warnings in-app if we suspect that a transfer may be a scam. We also protect your personal data with our full-stack security systems.
