Why it matters for cross-border payments
Bank Rate is the anchor for sterling interest rates. The vote split, published with the decision, often moves the pound as much as the decision itself.
Exchange rates can move sharply in the minutes after a release. If you are converting a large amount, knowing when the figure lands helps you decide when to book it.
