Republic Bank Trinidad and Tobago Exchange Rate API: TTD Buy and Sell Rates as JSON

Republic Bank is the largest bank in Trinidad and Tobago. Its forex page lists cash and sight buying rates, a selling rate and a mid rate for about twenty currencies. This guide shows how to read that board as JSON: what the rates mean, how they compare with the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago official rate and with other banks in Trinidad and Tobago, and the calls that return them.

What the Republic Bank board shows

• 14 currencies against the Trinidad & Tobago dollar: AUD, BZD, CAD, CHF, EUR, GBP, GHS, HKD, INR, JPY, NOK, NZD, USD and XCD. Every value is TTD per 1 unit of the foreign currency.
• The sight (non-cash) pair. The Trinidad and Tobago dollar is tightly managed against the US dollar, so USD boards move very little; banks print a cash buying rate, a non-cash (sight) buying rate and one selling rate. The rates here are the non-cash buy against the sell. The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago official rate is shown next to each row.
• USD on 15 November 2026: Republic Bank bought at 6.5818 and sold at 6.7793 TTD, a spread of 2.96%. The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago official rate was 6.7539, so the bank's mid sat -1.09% from it.
• The bank's own timestamp. The page prints a last-updated stamp (11/13/2026 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 tightest spreads were USD (2.96%), GHS (6.17%), INR (6.20%) and the widest HKD (10.53%), XCD (8.33%), NOK (7.80%). 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 Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago rate is the one tax, accounting and customs rules in Trinidad and Tobago name; nobody transacts at it. Republic Bank'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 Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago endpoint when a rule asks for the official rate.

FAQ

Where do the Republic Bank Trinidad and Tobago rates come from?

From the bank's own public rates page (https://www.republictt.com/personal/forex-rates), read hourly. AllRatesToday does not change the numbers: each row is the buy and sell price Republic Bank shows, with the mid, the spread and the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago rate added.

Are these the official TTD exchange rates?

No. They are Republic Bank's retail prices for customers. The official rate in Trinidad and Tobago is the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago 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 Republic Bank 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 Republic Bank 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.
