About Akbank

www.akbank.com

Akbank, founded in 1948 and part of the Sabancı Group, is one of Turkey’s largest private banks. Its live exchange-rates page lists the branch board for about 20 currencies with a last-update time.

Latest board, read 13 Nov 2026, 20:37 Turkey time (0h ago)

Bank’s own last-updated stamp: 13.11.2026 20:36:49 (as printed on its page, local time).

Board shown: Branch (gişe) board buy / sell. 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 Turkey 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 Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye 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.

History API: Akbank rates for past dates

One day, every plan including the free key: /api/v1/bank-rates/tr/akbank?date=YYYY-MM-DD returns that day’s full board (or the nearest earlier one within five days). A range for one currency, one row per day, paid plans: /api/v1/bank-rates/tr/akbank/history with ccy, from and to (default: the last year). Billed one call per month covered.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Akbank rate the official Turkey exchange rate?

No. Akbank 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 the Republic of Türkiye; it is shown in the Official column and is the figure accounting, tax and customs rules refer to.

Which Akbank rate applies when I send money abroad?

The sell rate: you are buying foreign currency from the bank. When you convert foreign currency into TRY, 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 Akbank rates?

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