Banco de México's FIX rate is a market reference published each business day; bank counter prices sit a few percent either side of it. The Banco de México official rate is shown next to each row. ## Quick start: call the Mexico bank rates API You need a free API key to run these. Register in under a minute, no card required.

Every plan. - `GET /api/v1/bank-rates/mx/bbvamx/history?ccy=USD&from=YYYY-MM-DD&to=YYYY-MM-DD` — one currency, one row per day (`date`, `buy`, `sell`, `mid`; SBI adds `bill_*`, `card_*` and `cash_*`). Defaults to the last year; `&format=csv`, `xml` or `xlsx`. Paid plans, one call per month covered. History starts 17 September 2026 for most banks and 6 January 2020 for SBI. ## Response fields | Field | Meaning | | --- | --- | | `quote_ccy` | MXN. Every price is MXN per 1 unit of `ccy`. | | `buy` | What the bank pays you in MXN for one unit of foreign currency. | | `sell` | What the bank charges you in MXN for one unit — the rate for sending money abroad. | | `mid`, `spread_pct` | Midpoint of buy and sell; spread = (sell − buy) ÷ mid, in percent. | | `official`, `vs_official_pct` | The Banco de México rate for the same currency and how far the bank’s mid sits from it. | | `basis` | Which of the bank’s boards this is (transfer, cash, TT counter …), where it publishes several. | | `captured_at` | When AllRatesToday read the bank’s page (UTC). Boards are read hourly. | | `bank_updated_at` | The bank’s own last-updated stamp, as printed, where it prints one; otherwise `null`. | ## Errors and limits - `401` — no key or an invalid key. 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 Banco de México 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 Mexico board API Free key, JSON responses, hourly board captures with the official rate alongside.

Both are quoted as the local currency per one unit of the foreign currency. The buying rate is what the bank pays you when you hand it foreign currency; the selling rate is what it charges when you buy foreign currency from it. The gap between them is the bank’s spread. ### Why do these rates differ from the central bank rate? The central bank publishes one reference rate per currency per business day. Banks quote around it with a margin and refresh their boards several times a day. The central bank row is the number to use for accounting, tax and customs; the bank rows are what you would get at the counter or in the app. ### How often are the bank rates updated? AllRatesToday reads each bank’s public rates page once an hour and shows the time next to every row. Where the bank prints its own last-updated time, that is shown instead. Banks can change boards between reads, so treat every figure as indicative and confirm with the bank before a transaction. ### Can I get these rates through an API? Yes, with a free API key. The endpoint /api/v1/bank-rates/{country} returns every covered bank’s latest board as JSON, and /api/v1/bank-rates/{country}/{bank} returns one bank, optionally narrowed with ?ccy=INR.
