Board shown: Telegraphic transfer. 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 Sri Lanka so the comparison is like for like. The others are on the bank’s own page.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Nations Trust Bank rate the official Sri Lanka exchange rate?

No. Nations Trust Bank 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 Nations Trust Bank 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.

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.
