About ACLEDA Bank Lao

www.acledabank.com.la

ACLEDA Bank Lao is the Lao subsidiary of Cambodia’s ACLEDA Bank, headquartered in Vientiane. Its foreign-exchange page lists buying and selling rates in kip for nine currencies, with TT rates for the US dollar and Thai baht.

Latest board, read 16 Nov 2026, 00:53 Laos time (1h ago)

Bank’s own last-updated stamp: November 13, 2026 10:27 am (as printed on its page, local time).

Board shown: Counter bid / ask (equal to the TT pair where printed). 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 Laos so the comparison is like for like. The others are on the bank’s own page.

Why use bank board rates through an API?

The Bank of the Lao PDR 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ACLEDA Bank Lao rate the official Laos exchange rate?

No. ACLEDA Bank Lao sets its own buying and selling rates and changes them through the day. The official rate is published once per business day by the Bank of the Lao PDR; it is shown in the Official column and is the figure accounting, tax and customs rules refer to.

Which ACLEDA Bank Lao rate applies when I send money abroad?

The sell rate: you are buying foreign currency from the bank. When you convert foreign currency into LAK, 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 ACLEDA Bank Lao rates?

Yes, from 13 Nov 2026 onwards, one board per day. One day: /api/v1/bank-rates/la/acledala?date=YYYY-MM-DD (every plan). A range: /api/v1/bank-rates/la/acledala/history?ccy=USD (paid plans).
