What does GBP mean on PayPal

GBP stands for Great British Pound, the official currency of the United Kingdom. On PayPal, GBP appears when you are sending, receiving, or holding funds denominated in British pounds. PayPal allows you to maintain multi-currency balances, so if you receive a payment in GBP, it will show in your account as GBP unless you choose to convert it to another currency.

If you are an Indian exporter or freelancer receiving GBP payments from UK clients, PayPal will convert the amount to INR when you withdraw to your Indian bank account, typically at rates that include a currency markup. Alternatives like Payoneer, Wise, and PayPal each handle GBP differently, but Skydo, an RBI-authorised platform, offers transparent exchange rates and faster settlements for receiving international payments in GBP and other currencies, making it a cost-effective choice for cross-border transactions.
