HomeBusiness Foreign ExchangeFarmers - Single Farm Payments
Subject to formal confirmation in the Official Journal of the European Union on 3 October 2011, payments for the 2011 Single Farm Payment will be made using the exchange rate of €1 = £0.86665 (1.1539) - the exchange rate for 2010 was 0.85995 / 1.1628.

When faced with the question of whether to receive their single farm payment in GBP or Euros, perhaps it is inevitable that farmers would tick the GBP Box. However, with the help of Currency UK , farmers can get more for their money and benefit from great service.

As payments are made in Euro, why get someone else to change it for you at a rate that may not benefit you when you can use the experts to get more then you otherwise would. The set rate for 2010 was 1.1628 and if we had booked this beforehand we could have achieved a rate of 1.0500, meaning a saving of over £4,500.00 on a payment of €40,000.00.
