--- title: "Hakrinbank Exchange Rate API: SRD Buy and Sell Rates as JSON" description: "Hakrinbank's transfer / cheque buy / sell rates for 2 currencies against the Surinamese dollar, read hourly from the bank's own page and served as JSON with the Centrale Bank van Suriname official rate alongside. REST, JavaScript and Python examples." canonical: https://allratestoday.com/blog/hakrinbank-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: 2026-11-15T19:11:54.960Z --- Hakrinbank is one of Suriname’s largest commercial banks. Its home page lists dated buying and selling prices for transfers and cheques in US dollars and euros. This guide shows how to read that board as JSON: what the rates mean, how they compare with the Centrale Bank van Suriname official rate and with other banks in Suriname, and the calls that return them. ## What the Hakrinbank board shows - **2 currencies against the Surinamese dollar**: EUR and USD. Every value is SRD per 1 unit of the foreign currency. - **The transfer / cheque buy / sell pair.** Surinamese banks post buying and selling prices in Surinamese dollars per US dollar and euro, separately for transfers (giraal) and cash. The Centrale Bank van Suriname publishes a daily reference rate. The Centrale Bank van Suriname official rate is shown next to each row. - **USD on 15 November 2026**: Hakrinbank bought at 37.5 and sold at 37.74 SRD, a spread of 0.64%. The Centrale Bank van Suriname official rate was 37.9, so the bank's mid sat -0.74% from it. - **The bank's own timestamp.** The page prints a last-updated stamp (`13/11/2026` on the board above), returned as `bank_updated_at` next to our `captured_at`. - **Every day's board is kept permanently, from 13 November 2026.** 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 spreads were USD 0.64%, EUR 1.77%. 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 Hakrinbank and other banks in Suriname USD on the 3 boards AllRatesToday reads in Suriname, all captured on 15 November 2026 (the Centrale Bank van Suriname official rate was 37.9): | Bank | Buy | Sell | Spread | Mid vs official | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Hakrinbank** | 37.5 | 37.74 | 0.64% | -0.74% | | Finabank | 37.3 | 37.74 | 1.17% | -1.00% | | Republic Bank (Suriname) | 37.19 | 37.74 | 1.47% | -1.15% | Hakrinbank had the narrowest USD spread of the 3. One call to `/api/v1/bank-rates/sr` returns every board in the table at once. ## Get the board (REST) You need an API key; the [free key](https://allratestoday.com/register/) works.

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