# About AllRatesToday

We build transparent, developer-friendly infrastructure for currency data. Here's who we are, what we make, and why.

## Our Story

AllRatesToday is a UK-based company building currency-data infrastructure for developers and finance teams. We started from a frustration every fintech developer knows: most free exchange rate APIs serve stale data, hide a retail markup, or won't say where their numbers come from. We built the service we wanted to use — real mid-market rates, honestly sourced, behind a clean REST API — and grew it into a platform that also serves the [official rates published by 121 central banks](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/) for tax, audit, and compliance work.

## What We Do

### Live Exchange Rates API

Real-time mid-market rates for [160+ currencies](https://allratestoday.com/currency/) — no markup, no spread — with historical data and time series. [Docs](https://allratestoday.com/docs/)

### Official Central Bank Rates

The published tables of 121 central banks (ECB, Fed, Bank of England, RBI, CBSL…) served as-is for compliance work, with history back to 1999. [Coverage](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/)

### SDKs & Integrations

Official SDKs for JavaScript, Python, PHP, Rust, and React, a dedicated npm package per covered central bank, and an [MCP server](https://allratestoday.com/docs/#mcp) for AI agents.

### Guides & Tools

Developer guides, live [converters](https://allratestoday.com/currency-converter/), an [interactive API reference](https://allratestoday.com/api-reference/), and an [API playground](https://allratestoday.com/playground/) — free to use.

## Company Facts

- **Founded:** 2026, after several years of building fintech and data systems

## Our Data, In One Paragraph

Live rates come from **institutional interbank market data** — true mid-market, the same tier used by major finance platforms, with no spread added by us. Official central-bank rates are ingested from **each bank's own publication** and served unmodified with the bank's publication date; anything we compute from a bank's table rather than quote from it is explicitly flagged `derived`. The full story is in the docs and in [where exchange rate data comes from](https://allratestoday.com/blog/where-does-exchange-rate-data-come-from/).
