REST, JavaScript and Python examples." canonical: https://allratestoday.com/blog/allianz-bank-bulgaria-exchange-rate-api/ source: AllRatesToday (https://allratestoday.com/) — Markdown mirror of the page above; index of all pages at https://allratestoday.com/llms.txt generated: 2026-11-15T19:13:48.563Z --- Allianz Bank Bulgaria is the Bulgarian banking arm of the Allianz group. Its rates page lists buy and sell rates in euros for the US dollar, the pound, the Swiss franc and the yen. This guide shows how to read that board as JSON: what the rates mean, how they compare with the Bulgarian National Bank official rate and with other banks in Bulgaria, and the calls that return them. ## What the Allianz Bank BG board shows - **4 currencies against the euro**: CHF, GBP, JPY and USD. Every value is EUR per 1 unit of the foreign currency. - **The buy / sell board (type s, as the rates page shows) pair.** Bulgaria adopted the euro on 1 January 2026; banks now quote foreign currency per 1 euro next to the BNB fixing, typically with separate cash and non-cash (безкасови) columns. The Bulgarian National Bank official rate is shown next to each row. - **USD on 15 November 2026**: Allianz Bank BG bought at 0.8914 and sold at 0.9174 EUR, a spread of 2.88%. The Bulgarian National Bank official rate was 0.9048, so the bank's mid sat -0.05% from it. - **The bank's own timestamp.** The page prints a last-updated stamp (`2026-11-13` on the board above), returned as `bank_updated_at` next to our `captured_at`. - **Every day's board is kept permanently, from 13 November 2026.** Read one past day with `?date=`, or a range for one currency with the `/history` endpoint (paid plans). ## Spreads across the board On the 15 November 2026 board the tightest spreads were GBP (2.67%), CHF (2.77%), USD (2.88%) and the widest JPY (5.67%), USD (2.88%), CHF (2.77%). Spread is (sell − buy) ÷ mid: what a round trip through the bank costs, before any fees. The API returns it on every row as `spread_pct`, so you can rank currencies or alert when a bank widens its board. ## USD at Allianz Bank BG and other banks in Bulgaria USD on the 10 boards AllRatesToday reads in Bulgaria, all captured on 15 November 2026 (the Bulgarian National Bank official rate was 0.9048): | Bank | Buy | Sell | Spread | Mid vs official | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Fibank (First Investment Bank) | 0.8872 | 0.9236 | 4.02% | +0.07% | | Postbank Bulgaria | 0.8832 | 0.9265 | 4.79% | 0.00% | | UniCredit Bulbank | 0.8879 | 0.9232 | 3.89% | +0.08% | | DSK Bank | 0.8857 | 0.9255 | 4.40% | +0.09% | | Central Cooperative Bank | 0.8945 | 0.9141 | 2.17% | -0.06% | | Tokuda Bank | 0.8921 | 0.9166 | 2.71% | -0.05% | | Municipal Bank | 0.8798 | 0.9293 | 5.47% | -0.03% | | Investbank | 0.877 | 0.9345 | 6.34% | +0.10% | | **Allianz Bank Bulgaria** | 0.8914 | 0.9174 | 2.88% | -0.05% | | Bulgarian-American Credit Bank | 0.8803 | 0.9294 | 5.42% | 0.00% | Allianz Bank BG had the 3rd narrowest USD spread of the 10. One call to `/api/v1/bank-rates/bg` returns every board in the table at once. ## Get the board (REST) You need an API key; the [free key](https://allratestoday.com/register/) works.

The Bulgarian National Bank rate is the one tax, accounting and customs rules in Bulgaria name; nobody transacts at it. Allianz Bank BG's board is the price a customer actually gets. The API puts both on every row: `official` is the central bank's rate for the same currency and `vs_official_pct` is how far the bank's mid sits from it. Use the board to show customers a real price, compare banks for a remittance, or keep a dated record of what the bank quoted; use the [Bulgarian National Bank endpoint](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/bnb/) when a rule asks for the official rate. ## FAQ ### Where do the Allianz Bank Bulgaria rates come from? From the bank's own public rates page (https://remote.bank.allianz.bg/EBank/html/exrates.html), read hourly. AllRatesToday does not change the numbers: each row is the buy and sell price Allianz Bank BG shows, with the mid, the spread and the Bulgarian National Bank rate added. ### Are these the official EUR exchange rates? No. They are Allianz Bank BG's retail prices for customers. The official rate in Bulgaria is the Bulgarian National Bank rate, which the API returns as `official` on each row where the central bank has one, and in full from the central-bank endpoint. ### How often is the Allianz Bank BG board updated? AllRatesToday reads the page every hour. The bank's own last-updated stamp is returned as `bank_updated_at`, so you can tell a fresh read of an unchanged board from a new board. ### Can I get Allianz Bank BG rates for a past date? Yes, from 13 November 2026 onward; every day's board is kept permanently. Add `?date=YYYY-MM-DD` for one day: the response is the board captured that day, or the nearest earlier day within five days, with `date_requested` and `snapshot_date` added. For a range, `/history?ccy=USD&from=…&to=…` returns one row per day as JSON, CSV, XML or XLSX on paid plans. ### Do I need an API key? Yes. Commercial bank boards need an API key; any plan works, the free key included, and each call counts against the plan. Public pages or widgets that show the rates need a visible link to allratestoday.com. ## Allianz Bank Bulgaria rates, as JSON Free API key, hourly board captures, the official rate alongside.
