About the British pound–lek rate

Pound to Lek: common questions

How many lek is 1 British pound today?

The rate moves through the day. The figures at the top of this page are the current average buy and sell rates across the sources we track, refreshed every 15 minutes; the home page shows what each bank and exchange office pays for pounds right now.

Is it easy to change pounds in Albania?

Yes — banks and exchange offices in Tirana and the coastal towns buy pounds. The margin is a little wider than for euros, so it pays to compare a couple of offices.

Should I change pounds into euros before I travel?

No. Changing twice means paying two margins. Bring pounds, or a card with low foreign-transaction fees, and change directly into lek once you are in Albania.
