Banco Atlántida Exchange Rate API: HNL Buy and Sell Rates as JSON

Banco Atlántida is one of Honduras’s oldest and largest banks. Its home page shows the day’s buying and selling prices for the US dollar and the euro in lempiras. This guide shows how to read that board as JSON: what the rates mean, how they compare with the Banco Central de Honduras official rate and with other banks in Honduras, and the calls that return them.

What the Atlántida board shows

• 2 currencies against the Honduran lempira: EUR and USD. Every value is HNL per 1 unit of the foreign currency.
• The buy / sell pair. Honduran banks quote the US dollar in lempiras off the Banco Central de Honduras reference rate, so several banks print the same buying and selling price. Spreads on the dollar are well under one percent; euro spreads are much wider. The Banco Central de Honduras official rate is shown next to each row.
• USD on 15 November 2026: Atlántida bought at 26.9268 and sold at 27.0614 HNL, a spread of 0.50%. The Banco Central de Honduras official rate was 26.939, so the bank's mid sat +0.20% from it.
• The bank's own timestamp. The page prints a last-updated stamp (15-11-2026 on the board above), returned as bank_updated_at next to our captured_at.
• Every day's board is kept permanently, from 14 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 spreads were USD 0.50%, EUR 12.61%. 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 Atlántida and other banks in Honduras

USD on the 5 boards AllRatesToday reads in Honduras, all captured on 15 November 2026 (the Banco Central de Honduras official rate was 26.939):

Atlántida had the 4th narrowest USD spread of the 5. One call to /api/v1/bank-rates/hn returns every board in the table at once.

Board rate or official rate?

The Banco Central de Honduras rate is the one tax, accounting and customs rules in Honduras name; nobody transacts at it. Atlántida'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 Banco Central de Honduras endpoint when a rule asks for the official rate.

FAQ

Where do the Banco Atlántida rates come from?

From the bank's own public rates page (https://www.bancatlan.hn/), read hourly. AllRatesToday does not change the numbers: each row is the buy and sell price Atlántida shows, with the mid, the spread and the Banco Central de Honduras rate added.

Are these the official HNL exchange rates?

No. They are Atlántida's retail prices for customers. The official rate in Honduras is the Banco Central de Honduras 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 Atlántida 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 Atlántida rates for a past date?

Yes, from 14 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.
