About these rates

Norwegian banks quote kroner per 1 or per 100 units of foreign currency, with separate lists for transfers (overførsel) and bank notes. DNB sets its transfer list once a day at 09:00; Norges Bank publishes one reference rate per business day. The Norges Bank official rate is shown next to each row.

Field	Meaning
`quote_ccy`	NOK. Every price is NOK per 1 unit of `ccy`.
`buy`	What the bank pays you in NOK for one unit of foreign currency.
`sell`	What the bank charges you in NOK 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 Norges Bank rate for the same currency and how far the bank’s mid sits from it.

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 Norges Bank 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

What is the difference between a bank’s buying rate and selling rate?

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. Attribution back to allratestoday.com is required.
