REST, JavaScript and Python examples." canonical: https://allratestoday.com/blog/capital-bank-kyrgyzstan-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: 2026-11-15T19:13:52.658Z --- Capital Bank is a Kyrgyz commercial bank based in Bishkek. Its home page lists cash and non-cash buy and sell rates for up to six currencies against the som. This guide shows how to read that board as JSON: what the rates mean, how they compare with the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic official rate and with other banks in Kyrgyzstan, and the calls that return them. ## What the Capital Bank KG board shows - **6 currencies against the Kyrgyz som**: AED, CNY, EUR, KZT, RUB and USD. Every value is KGS per 1 unit of the foreign currency. - **The non-cash (безналичный) buy / sell pair.** Kyrgyz banks print buying and selling rates against the som for the US dollar, euro, rouble and tenge, often with separate cash and non-cash boards and the NBKR rate beside them. The US dollar spread is usually under 1%, while yuan, lira and dirham are quoted much wider. The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic official rate is shown next to each row. - **USD on 15 November 2026**: Capital Bank KG bought at 87 and sold at 87.5 KGS, a spread of 0.57%. The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic official rate was 87.4355, so the bank's mid sat -0.21% from it. - **No timestamp on the bank's page.** Capital Bank KG 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 tightest spreads were USD (0.57%), EUR (1.03%), RUB (5.61%) and the widest KZT (24.93%), AED (16.67%), CNY (7.63%). 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 Capital Bank KG and other banks in Kyrgyzstan USD on the 14 boards AllRatesToday reads in Kyrgyzstan, all captured on 15 November 2026 (the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic official rate was 87.4355): | Bank | Buy | Sell | Spread | Mid vs official | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Optima Bank | 87 | 87.5 | 0.57% | -0.21% | | Demir Bank | 87 | 87.5 | 0.57% | -0.21% | | Bakai Bank | 87 | 87.5 | 0.57% | -0.21% | | RSK Bank (Eldik Bank) | 87 | 87.5 | 0.57% | -0.21% | | MBANK (Kyrgyzstan) | 87.45 | 87.5 | 0.06% | +0.04% | | FINCA Bank Kyrgyzstan | 87 | 87.5 | 0.57% | -0.21% | | KSB Bank | 87 | 87.5 | 0.57% | -0.21% | | Tolubay Bank | 87 | 87.5 | 0.57% | -0.21% | | Bai-Tushum Bank | 87.3 | 87.5 | 0.23% | -0.04% | | **Capital Bank (Kyrgyzstan)** | 87 | 87.5 | 0.57% | -0.21% | | Eco Islamic Bank | 87 | 87.5 | 0.57% | -0.21% | | Dos-Credobank | 87.45 | 87.8 | 0.40% | +0.22% | | Bank of Asia | 87 | 87.5 | 0.57% | -0.21% | | Kompanion Bank | 87.4 | 87.8 | 0.46% | +0.19% | Capital Bank KG had the 12th narrowest USD spread of the 14.

The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic rate is the one tax, accounting and customs rules in Kyrgyzstan name; nobody transacts at it. Capital Bank KG'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 the Kyrgyz Republic endpoint](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/nbkr/) when a rule asks for the official rate. ## FAQ ### Where do the Capital Bank (Kyrgyzstan) rates come from? From the bank's own public rates page (https://capitalbank.kg/), read hourly. AllRatesToday does not change the numbers: each row is the buy and sell price Capital Bank KG shows, with the mid, the spread and the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic rate added. ### Are these the official KGS exchange rates? No. They are Capital Bank KG's retail prices for customers. The official rate in Kyrgyzstan is the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic 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 Capital Bank KG 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 Capital Bank KG 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. ## Capital Bank (Kyrgyzstan) rates, as JSON Free API key, hourly board captures, the official rate alongside.
