Bank of Georgia Exchange Rate API: GEL Buy and Sell Rates as JSON

By Madhushan November 13, 2026 6 min read

Bank of Georgia is one of the country’s two largest banks. Its currency page lists branch buy and sell rates for about 50 currencies against the lari, with separate digital rates for its app. This guide shows how to read that board as JSON: what the rates mean, how they compare with the National Bank of Georgia official rate, and the calls that return them.

What the BoG board shows

52 currencies against the Georgian lari: AED, AMD, AUD, AZN, BHD, BRL, BYN, CAD, CHF, CNY, CZK, DKK, EGP, EUR, GBP, HKD, HUF, IDR, ILS, INR, ISK, JOD, JPY, KGS, KRW, KWD, KZT, MAD, MDL, MXN, MYR, NOK, NZD, PHP, PKR, PLN, QAR, RON, RSD, RUB, SAR, SEK, SGD, THB, TJS, TRY, TWD, UAH, USD, UZS, VND and ZAR. Every value is GEL per 1 unit of the foreign currency.
The branch board buy / sell pair. Georgian banks publish a branch board plus separate, usually tighter, rates inside their mobile apps. The pair here is the branch board. Many currencies are quoted per 10, 100 or 1,000 units; they are shown here per 1. The National Bank of Georgia sets one official rate per day.
USD on 13 November 2026: BoG bought at 2.562 and sold at 2.626 GEL, a spread of 2.47%. The National Bank of Georgia official rate was 2.5935, so the bank's mid sat +0.02% from it.
No timestamp on the bank's page. BoG 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 13 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 13 November 2026 board the tightest spreads were USD (2.47%), EUR (2.79%), GBP (2.91%) and the widest UAH (61.08%), PKR (36.03%), TWD (35.66%). 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.

Board rate or official rate?

The National Bank of Georgia rate is the one tax, accounting and customs rules in Georgia name; nobody transacts at it. BoG'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 National Bank of Georgia endpoint when a rule asks for the official rate.

FAQ

Where do the Bank of Georgia rates come from?

From the bank's own public rates page (https://bankofgeorgia.ge/en/currencies), read hourly. AllRatesToday does not change the numbers: each row is the buy and sell price BoG shows, with the mid, the spread and the National Bank of Georgia rate added.

Are these the official GEL exchange rates?

No. They are BoG's retail prices for customers. The official rate in Georgia is the National Bank of Georgia 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 BoG 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 BoG 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.
