Nedbank Moçambique is the Mozambican subsidiary of South Africa’s Nedbank Group. Its home page shows buying and selling rates in meticais for the US dollar, rand, euro and pound. This guide shows how to read that board as JSON: what the rates mean, how they compare with the Banco de Moçambique official rate and with other banks in Mozambique, and the calls that return them.

## What the Nedbank Mozambique board shows

- **4 currencies against the Mozambican metical**: EUR, GBP, USD and ZAR. Every value is MZN per 1 unit of the foreign currency.
- **The câmbios (compra / venda) pair.** The metical has been held close to 64 per US dollar for several years; banks publish a single daily bid and offer per currency. The Banco de Moçambique official rate is shown next to each row.
- **USD on 15 November 2026**: Nedbank Mozambique bought at 63.25 and sold at 64.51 MZN, a spread of 1.97%. The Banco de Moçambique official rate was 64.54, so the bank's mid sat -1.02% from it.
- **No timestamp on the bank's page.** Nedbank Mozambique 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 ZAR (1.86%), EUR (1.96%), GBP (1.97%) and the widest USD (1.97%), GBP (1.97%), EUR (1.96%). 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 Nedbank Mozambique and other banks in Mozambique

USD on the 5 boards AllRatesToday reads in Mozambique, all captured on 15 November 2026 (the Banco de Moçambique official rate was 64.54):

| Bank | Buy | Sell | Spread | Mid vs official |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| BCI (Banco Comercial e de Investimentos) | 63.25 | 64.51 | 1.97% | -1.02% |
| Absa Bank Moçambique | 63.25 | 64.52 | 1.99% | -1.01% |
| First Capital Bank Mozambique | 63.3 | 64.57 | 1.99% | -0.94% |
| **Nedbank Moçambique** | 63.25 | 64.51 | 1.97% | -1.02% |
| Millennium bim | 63.25 | 64.52 | 1.99% | -1.01% |

Nedbank Mozambique had the 2nd narrowest USD spread of the 5. One call to `/api/v1/bank-rates/mz` 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 full board:

```
curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/bank-rates/mz/nedbankmz" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer art_live_your_key"
```

What comes back (the 15 November 2026 board, first three rows):

## JavaScript

```
npm install @allratestoday/sdk
```

```
import { AllRatesToday } from '@allratestoday/sdk';

const client = new AllRatesToday({ apiKey: 'art_live_your_key' });

// Nedbank Moçambique's USD row
const r = await client.bankRates('mz', { bank: 'nedbankmz', ccy: 'USD' });
console.log(`Nedbank Mozambique buys USD at ${r.buy}, sells at ${r.sell} MZN`);

// The board as it stood on a past day
const past = await client.bankRates('mz', { bank: 'nedbankmz', date: '2026-11-15' });
console.log(past.snapshot_date, past.rates.length);
```

## Python

```
import requests

r.raise_for_status()
for row in r.json()["rates"]:
    print(row["ccy"], row["buy"], row["sell"], row["spread_pct"])
```

## Board rate or official rate?

The Banco de Moçambique rate is the one tax, accounting and customs rules in Mozambique name; nobody transacts at it. Nedbank Mozambique'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 [Banco de Moçambique endpoint](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/bdm/) when a rule asks for the official rate.

## FAQ

### Where do the Nedbank Moçambique rates come from?

From the bank's own public rates page (https://www.nedbank.co.mz/), read hourly. AllRatesToday does not change the numbers: each row is the buy and sell price Nedbank Mozambique shows, with the mid, the spread and the Banco de Moçambique rate added.

### Are these the official MZN exchange rates?

No. They are Nedbank Mozambique's retail prices for customers. The official rate in Mozambique is the Banco de Moçambique 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 Nedbank Mozambique 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 Nedbank Mozambique 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.
