Frequently asked questions
Is the Bank of Ceylon rate the official Sri Lanka exchange rate?
No. Bank of Ceylon 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 Sri Lanka; it is shown in the Official column and is the figure accounting, tax and customs rules refer to.
Which Bank of Ceylon rate applies when I send money abroad?
The sell rate: you are buying foreign currency from the bank. When you convert foreign currency into LKR, the buy rate applies. Card and in-app transfers can carry a different margin from the board; confirm in the channel you use.
