BNP Paribas Indonesia Exchange Rate API: IDR Buy and Sell Rates as JSON

BNP Paribas Indonesia is the group’s Jakarta-based subsidiary bank serving corporate and institutional clients. Its live currency rates page shows indicative buy and sell rates in rupiah for 11 currencies used in international payments. This guide shows how to read that board as JSON: what the rates mean, how they compare with the Bank Indonesia official rate and with other banks in Indonesia, and the calls that return them.

What the BNP Paribas ID board shows

• 11 currencies against the Indonesian rupiah: AUD, CHF, CNY, EUR, GBP, HKD, JPY, SEK, SGD, THB and USD. Every value is IDR per 1 unit of the foreign currency.
• The indicative rates for international payments (transfer) buy / sell pair. Indonesian banks quote three boards at once: an e-Rate for online transactions, a TT counter rate for branch telegraphic transfers, and bank notes for cash. The pair here is the TT counter rate. Bank Indonesia’s JISDOR is a reference calculated from interbank transactions rather than a counter price, so it sits inside every bank’s spread.
• USD on 15 November 2026: BNP Paribas ID bought at 18123 and sold at 18375 IDR, a spread of 1.38%. The Bank Indonesia official rate was 18332.21, so the bank's mid sat -0.45% from it.
• The bank's own timestamp. The page prints a last-updated stamp (2026-11-13T15:24:33.962+00:00 on the board above), returned as bank_updated_at next to our captured_at.
• 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 tightest spreads were USD (1.38%), EUR (2.79%), JPY (3.98%) and the widest SEK (4.02%), THB (4.02%), HKD (4.00%). 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 Bank Indonesia rate is the one tax, accounting and customs rules in Indonesia name; nobody transacts at it. BNP Paribas ID'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 Bank Indonesia endpoint when a rule asks for the official rate.

FAQ

Where do the BNP Paribas Indonesia rates come from?

From the bank's own public rates page (https://www.bnpparibas.co.id/en/live-currency-rates/), read hourly. AllRatesToday does not change the numbers: each row is the buy and sell price BNP Paribas ID shows, with the mid, the spread and the Bank Indonesia rate added.

Are these the official IDR exchange rates?

No. They are BNP Paribas ID's retail prices for customers. The official rate in Indonesia is the Bank Indonesia 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 BNP Paribas ID 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 BNP Paribas ID 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.
