By [Madhushan](https://allratestoday.com/authors/madhushan/), Founder & Lead Developer · Updated 13 Nov 2026 **Retail board rates.** These are the prices RAKBANK displayed on [its own rates page](https://www.rakbank.ae/en/everyday-banking/send-pay/foreign-exchange-rates/) when we last read it. They are indicative, change through the day, and are not official rates. For the reference rate, see the [Central Bank of the UAE](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/cbuae/). ![](https://allratestoday.com/logos/banks/rakbank.webp) ## About RAKBANK [www.rakbank.ae](https://www.rakbank.ae/) RAKBANK, the National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah, is a UAE commercial bank headquartered in Ras Al Khaimah. Its foreign exchange page lists buying and selling rates against the dirham for about 26 currencies, with a last-updated time. ## ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/ae.png) Latest board, read 13 Nov 2026, 21:37 UAE time (1h ago) Bank’s own last-updated stamp: **11/13/2026 07:21:21 PM** (as printed on its page, local time). Board shown: **Counter board**. Banks outside the Gulf publish several boards for the same currency — counter notes, drafts, transfers, cards — and this page shows one of them, the same one for every bank in United Arab Emirates so the comparison is like for like. The others are on the bank’s own page. | Currency | Bank buys at | Bank sells at | Mid | Spread | Official 2026-11-13 | Mid vs official | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/us.png)`USD` | 3.6600 | 3.6850 | 3.6725 | 0.68% | 3.6725 | 0.00% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/eu.png)`EUR` | 3.9184 | 4.2026 | 4.0605 | 7.00% | 4.0585 | +0.05% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/gb.png)`GBP` | 4.6950 | 5.0355 | 4.8653 | 7.00% | 4.8600 | +0.11% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/in.png)`INR` | 0.03848 | 0.03920 | 0.03884 | 1.86% | 0.03897 | -0.32% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/pk.png)`PKR` | 0.01308 | 0.01331 | 0.01319 | 1.76% | 0.01328 | -0.66% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/ph.png)`PHP` | 0.05694 | 0.05795 | 0.05744 | 1.76% | 0.05755 | -0.18% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/eg.png)`EGP` | 0.06783 | 0.06890 | 0.06837 | 1.56% | 0.06875 | -0.56% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/bd.png)`BDT` | 0.02983 | 0.03033 | 0.03008 | 1.66% | 0.02953 | +1.87% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/lk.png)`LKR` | 0.01091 | 0.01108 | 0.01099 | 1.51% | 0.01104 | -0.44% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/np.png)`NPR` | 0.02411 | 0.02449 | 0.02430 | 1.55% | 0.02436 | -0.22% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/sa.png)`SAR` | 0.9466 | 1.0077 | 0.9771 | 6.26% | 0.9786 | -0.14% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/qa.png)`QAR` | 0.9749 | 1.0378 | 1.0063 | 6.26% | 1.0075 | -0.12% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/kw.png)`KWD` | 11.7217 | 12.0787 | 11.9002 | 3.00% | 11.9005 | -0.00% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/om.png)`OMR` | 9.3937 | 9.6560 | 9.5249 | 2.75% | 9.5385 | -0.14% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/bh.png)`BHD` | 9.6133 | 9.8566 | 9.7350 | 2.50% | 9.7388 | -0.04% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/jp.png)`JPY` | 0.02218 | 0.02379 | 0.02299 | 7.00% | 0.02297 | +0.10% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/cn.png)`CNY` | 0.5458 | 0.5551 | 0.5504 | 1.70% | 0.5505 | -0.00% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/ch.png)`CHF` | 4.2597 | 4.5232 | 4.3914 | 6.00% | 4.3814 | +0.23% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/ca.png)`CAD` | 2.5020 | 2.6567 | 2.5794 | 6.00% | 2.5779 | +0.06% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/au.png)`AUD` | 2.4063 | 2.5809 | 2.4936 | 7.00% | 2.4944 | -0.03% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/dk.png)`DKK` | 0.5322 | 0.5567 | 0.5445 | 4.49% | 0.5429 | +0.29% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/hk.png)`HKD` | 0.4611 | 0.4752 | 0.4681 | 3.00% | 0.4681 | +0.01% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/no.png)`NOK` | 0.3773 | 0.3946 | 0.3860 | 4.49% | 0.3844 | +0.42% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/sg.png)`SGD` | 2.7817 | 2.9244 | 2.8530 | 5.00% | 2.8515 | +0.05% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/tr.png)`TRY` | 0.06927 | 0.07656 | 0.07292 | 10.00% | 0.07292 | +0.00% | | ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/za.png)`ZAR` | 0.2070 | 0.2265 | 0.2167 | 9.00% | 0.2164 | +0.15% | All values are AED per 1 unit of the currency.

Any plan’s key works, the free one included. - `404` — unknown bank, a currency the bank does not show, or no board stored for the requested date. - `400` — `date` not in `YYYY-MM-DD` form, or in the future. - Each call counts against your plan. Responses can be cached for five minutes; past-day boards never change. - Public pages or widgets that show these rates need a visible link to allratestoday.com. ## Why use bank board rates through an API? The Central Bank of the UAE official rate is what accounting, tax and customs rules name, but it is not what a customer pays at the counter or in an app. Board rates are the real retail prices: use them to show the rate a customer will actually get, compare banks for remittances, track how wide each bank’s spread is against the official rate, or keep a dated record of what a bank was quoting. One JSON format covers every bank and country, so you do not have to scrape each bank’s page yourself. ## Start calling the RAKBANK board API Free key, JSON responses, hourly board captures with the official rate alongside.

JSON needs an API key: `https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/bank-rates/ae/rakbank`. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the RAKBANK rate the official United Arab Emirates exchange rate? No. RAKBANK sets its own buying and selling rates and changes them through the day. The official rate is published once per business day by the Central Bank of the UAE; it is shown in the Official column and is the figure accounting, tax and customs rules refer to. ### Which RAKBANK rate applies when I send money abroad? The sell rate: you are buying foreign currency from the bank. When you convert foreign currency into AED, the buy rate applies. Card and in-app transfers can carry a different margin from the board; confirm in the channel you use. ### How current is this table? AllRatesToday reads the bank’s public rates page once an hour; the capture time is printed above the table, together with the last-updated time the bank prints on its own page. Rates may have changed since. ### Do you have historical RAKBANK rates? Yes, from 13 Nov 2026 onwards, one board per day. One day: /api/v1/bank-rates/ae/rakbank?date=YYYY-MM-DD (every plan). A range: /api/v1/bank-rates/ae/rakbank/history?ccy=USD (paid plans). ## Compare [All United Arab Emirates banks side by sideBest buy and sell per currency](https://allratestoday.com/bank-exchange-rate-api/ae/) [First Abu Dhabi BankBoard rates](https://allratestoday.com/bank-exchange-rate-api/ae/fab/)[Emirates NBDBoard rates](https://allratestoday.com/bank-exchange-rate-api/ae/enbd/)[Bank of SharjahBoard rates](https://allratestoday.com/bank-exchange-rate-api/ae/bos/)[Abu Dhabi Islamic BankBoard rates](https://allratestoday.com/bank-exchange-rate-api/ae/adib/)[Dubai Islamic BankBoard rates](https://allratestoday.com/bank-exchange-rate-api/ae/dib/) [Central Bank of the UAEOfficial rate, daily, with history](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/cbuae/)
