REST, JavaScript and Python examples." canonical: https://allratestoday.com/blog/bnp-paribas-norway-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: 2026-11-15T19:12:31.666Z --- BNP Paribas operates in Norway as a branch of the French banking group, serving corporate and institutional clients. Its live currency rates page shows indicative buy and sell rates in Norwegian kroner for about 31 currencies used in international payments. This guide shows how to read that board as JSON: what the rates mean, how they compare with the Norges Bank official rate and with other banks in Norway, and the calls that return them. ## What the BNP Paribas NO board shows - **31 currencies against the Norwegian krone**: AED, AUD, BHD, CAD, CHF, CNY, CZK, DKK, EUR, GBP, HKD, HUF, IDR, ILS, INR, JPY, KRW, KWD, MXN, NZD, OMR, PHP, PLN, QAR, SAR, SEK, SGD, THB, TRY, USD and ZAR. Every value is NOK per 1 unit of the foreign currency. - **The indicative rates for international payments (transfer) buy / sell pair.** Norwegian banks quote kroner per 1 or per 100 units of foreign currency, with separate lists for transfers (overførsel) and bank notes. DNB sets its transfer list once a day at 09:00; Norges Bank publishes one reference rate per business day. The Norges Bank official rate is shown next to each row. - **USD on 15 November 2026**: BNP Paribas NO bought at 9.3691 and sold at 9.7149 NOK, a spread of 3.62%. The Norges Bank official rate was 9.5634, so the bank's mid sat -0.22% from it. - **The bank's own timestamp.** The page prints a last-updated stamp (`2026-11-13T23:00:04.339+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 EUR (3.62%), AED (3.62%), CAD (3.62%) and the widest INR (4.24%), IDR (4.03%), ILS (3.85%). 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 BNP Paribas NO and other banks in Norway USD on the 14 boards AllRatesToday reads in Norway, all captured on 15 November 2026 (the Norges Bank official rate was 9.5634): | Bank | Buy | Sell | Spread | Mid vs official | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | DNB | 9.5142 | 9.6082 | 0.98% | -0.02% | | **BNP Paribas Norway** | 9.3691 | 9.7149 | 3.62% | -0.22% | | Nordea | 9.5005 | 9.6135 | 1.18% | -0.07% | | SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge | 9.4907 | 9.5827 | 0.96% | -0.28% | | SpareBank 1 SMN | 9.5208 | 9.6148 | 0.98% | +0.05% | | SpareBank 1 Østlandet | 9.5129 | 9.6049 | 0.96% | -0.05% | | SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge | 9.5192 | 9.6132 | 0.98% | +0.03% | | SpareBank 1 Helgeland | 9.5192 | 9.6132 | 0.98% | +0.03% | | SpareBank 1 Østfold Akershus | 9.5255 | 9.6195 | 0.98% | +0.10% | | SpareBank 1 Ringerike Hadeland | 9.5255 | 9.6195 | 0.98% | +0.10% | | SpareBank 1 Nordmøre | 9.5255 | 9.6195 | 0.98% | +0.10% | | SpareBank 1 Gudbrandsdal | 9.5255 | 9.6195 | 0.98% | +0.10% | | SpareBank 1 Hallingdal Valdres | 9.5255 | 9.6195 | 0.98% | +0.10% | | FOREX Bank | 8.7075 | 10.3567 | 17.30% | -0.33% | BNP Paribas NO had the 13th narrowest USD spread of the 14.

The Norges Bank rate is the one tax, accounting and customs rules in Norway name; nobody transacts at it. BNP Paribas NO'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 [Norges Bank endpoint](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/norges/) when a rule asks for the official rate. ## FAQ ### Where do the BNP Paribas Norway rates come from? From the bank's own public rates page (https://www.bnpparibas.no/en/live-currency-rates-for-norway/), read hourly. AllRatesToday does not change the numbers: each row is the buy and sell price BNP Paribas NO shows, with the mid, the spread and the Norges Bank rate added. ### Are these the official NOK exchange rates? No. They are BNP Paribas NO's retail prices for customers. The official rate in Norway is the Norges 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 BNP Paribas NO 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 NO 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. ## BNP Paribas Norway rates, as JSON Free API key, hourly board captures, the official rate alongside.
