Halkbank Serbia Exchange Rate API: RSD Buy and Sell Rates as JSON

Halkbank a.d. Beograd is the Serbian subsidiary of Turkey’s Halkbank. Its exchange list gives cash and non-cash buy and sell rates for 19 currencies against the dinar. This guide shows how to read that board as JSON: what the rates mean, how they compare with the National Bank of Serbia official rate and with other banks in Serbia, and the calls that return them.

What the Halkbank RS board shows

• 19 currencies against the Serbian dinar: AUD, BAM, CAD, CHF, CNY, CZK, DKK, EUR, GBP, HUF, JPY, KWD, NOK, PLN, RON, RUB, SEK, TRY and USD. Every value is RSD per 1 unit of the foreign currency.
• The non-cash (devize) buy / sell pair. Serbian banks publish a daily list with a non-cash (devizni) pair for transfers and accounts and a cash (efektiva) pair for notes, around the National Bank of Serbia’s middle rate. The rates here are the non-cash pair. The National Bank of Serbia official rate is shown next to each row.
• USD on 15 November 2026: Halkbank RS bought at 102.52 and sold at 110.18 RSD, a spread of 7.20%. The National Bank of Serbia official rate was 106.35, so the bank's mid matched it.
• No timestamp on the bank's page. Halkbank RS 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 EUR (2.50%), CHF (7.20%), GBP (7.20%) and the widest RUB (23.80%), TRY (15.80%), SEK (8.00%). 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 National Bank of Serbia rate is the one tax, accounting and customs rules in Serbia name; nobody transacts at it. Halkbank RS'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 Serbia endpoint when a rule asks for the official rate.

FAQ

Where do the Halkbank Serbia rates come from?

From the bank's own public rates page (https://www.halkbank.rs/pocetna.214.html), read hourly. AllRatesToday does not change the numbers: each row is the buy and sell price Halkbank RS shows, with the mid, the spread and the National Bank of Serbia rate added.

Are these the official RSD exchange rates?

No. They are Halkbank RS's retail prices for customers. The official rate in Serbia is the National Bank of Serbia 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 Halkbank RS 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 Halkbank RS 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.
