How to Convert British Pounds to New Zealand Dollars

Exchanging currencies can be the perfect way to make an investment or to pay for goods and services in another country. To exchange the British pound for the New Zealand dollar, you must have the foreign currency exchange rate at the time of the exchange. Because the foreign currency exchange rate is constantly changing, you must determine the current rate through a bank, currency exchange or the Internet.

Instructions

1. To find the current foreign currency exchange rate online you have several options; see references for three such websites. To find the rate, be sure to select the British pound as the currency you have and New Zealand dollars as the currency you want. For example, using the sites, you find on a particular date that 1 British pound equals 2.2088 New Zealand dollars.

2. Determine the number of British pounds you want to convert: for example, 400 British pounds.

3. Multiply the number of British pounds you want to convert by the foreign currency exchange rate. In this example, 400 British pounds times 2.2088 equals 833.52 New Zealand dollars.
