Banco Provincia del Neuquén is the provincial bank of Neuquén. Its quotes page lists the buying and selling price of the US dollar for the last business day. This guide shows how to read that board as JSON: what the rates mean, how they compare with the Banco Central de la República Argentina official rate and with other banks in Argentina, and the calls that return them.

## What the BPN board shows

- **1 currency against the Argentine peso**: USD. Every value is ARS per 1 unit of the foreign currency.
- **The branch buy / sell, USD only pair.** Argentine banks set their own retail buy and sell for the dollar on top of the wholesale rate, and the spread is several percent. The Banco Central de la República Argentina publishes the wholesale reference rate. The Banco Central de la República Argentina official rate is shown next to each row.
- **USD on 15 November 2026**: BPN bought at 1510 and sold at 1580 ARS, a spread of 4.53%. The Banco Central de la República Argentina official rate was 1543.5, so the bank's mid sat +0.10% from it.
- **No timestamp on the bank's page.** BPN does not print a last-updated time, so `bank_updated_at` is `null` and `captured_at` (when AllRatesToday read the page) is the only time available.
- **Every day's board is kept permanently, from 15 November 2026, the day collection started.** 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 spread was USD 4.53%. 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 BPN and other banks in Argentina

USD on the 8 boards AllRatesToday reads in Argentina, all captured on 15 November 2026 (the Banco Central de la República Argentina official rate was 1543.5):

| Bank | Buy | Sell | Spread | Mid vs official |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| BBVA Argentina | 1515 | 1579 | 4.14% | +0.23% |
| Banco de la Nación Argentina | 1534.5 | 1543.5 | 0.58% | -0.29% |
| Banco Ciudad | 1510 | 1570 | 3.90% | -0.23% |
| ICBC Argentina | 1515 | 1575 | 3.88% | +0.10% |
| **Banco Provincia del Neuquén** | 1510 | 1580 | 4.53% | +0.10% |
| Banco de Formosa | 1497 | 1590 | 6.03% | 0.00% |
| Banco Roela | 1480 | 1580 | 6.54% | -0.88% |
| Banco de La Pampa | 1520 | 1575 | 3.55% | +0.26% |

BPN had the 6th narrowest USD spread of the 8. One call to `/api/v1/bank-rates/ar` returns every board in the table at once.

One currency over a date range, one row per day (paid plans; add `&format=csv`, `xml` or `xlsx` for a file):

```

import { AllRatesToday } from '@allratestoday/sdk';

const client = new AllRatesToday({ apiKey: 'art_live_your_key' });

// Banco Provincia del Neuquén's USD row
const r = await client.bankRates('ar', { bank: 'bpnar', ccy: 'USD' });
console.log(`BPN buys USD at ${r.buy}, sells at ${r.sell} ARS`);

// The board as it stood on a past day
const past = await client.bankRates('ar', { bank: 'bpnar', date: '2026-11-15' });
console.log(past.snapshot_date, past.rates.length);
```

## Python

```
import requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/bank-rates/ar/bpnar",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer art_live_your_key"},
    timeout=10,
)
r.raise_for_status()
for row in r.json()["rates"]:
    print(row["ccy"], row["buy"], row["sell"], row["spread_pct"])
```

## Board rate or official rate?

The Banco Central de la República Argentina rate is the one tax, accounting and customs rules in Argentina name; nobody transacts at it. BPN'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 la República Argentina endpoint](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/bcra/) when a rule asks for the official rate.

## FAQ

### Where do the Banco Provincia del Neuquén rates come from?

From the bank's own public rates page (https://www.bpn.com.ar/Home/CotizacionDolar), read hourly. AllRatesToday does not change the numbers: each row is the buy and sell price BPN shows, with the mid, the spread and the Banco Central de la República Argentina rate added.

### Are these the official ARS exchange rates?

No. They are BPN's retail prices for customers. The official rate in Argentina is the Banco Central de la República Argentina 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 BPN board updated?

AllRatesToday reads the page every hour. The bank prints no timestamp, so `captured_at` tells you when the rates were read.

### Can I get BPN rates for a past date?

Yes, from 15 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.
