Why a national bank rate?
National central bank rates are the legal reference for invoices, VAT, payroll and tax declarations under most EU and EaP rules — distinct from commercial-bank quotes (which include spread) and market mid-rates (suitable for transfer estimates only).
Update schedule per bank
Every bank publishes once per business day. The local times below are when fresh rates first appear in each feed — exrate ingests within minutes.

Coverage gaps
Each bank publishes a different set of currencies — for example, NBP splits daily Tabela A from weekly Tabela B; ECB has no rate for currencies pegged to the euro. The per-bank pages list each bank's exact published set.
Frequently asked questions
Which bank's rate should I use for an invoice?
Use the central bank of the country whose tax rules govern the invoice. For Polish VAT — NBP. For Czech accounting — CNB. For Danish and Swedish reporting — DN and SRB respectively. The per-bank page documents the legal use case.
Why isn't the Swiss National Bank (SNB) listed?
SNB is on the roadmap — the catalog has the metadata but no ingest adapter is live yet. The page will appear at /en/bank/SNB/ once the SNB adapter ships.
How do I get all banks' rates in one request?
Hit GET /v1/status for the latest-rate-date per bank, then GET /v1/rate?bank=...¤cy=...&date=... per bank. Or use the MCP server which exposes a single tool that returns every bank at once.
Are weekend rates available?
Banks don't quote on weekends. Lookups for Saturday or Sunday return the previous business day's rate — that is the legally correct fallback for tax filings.
Can I download the entire history?
Yes — GET /v1/rates/series?bank=...¤cy=... returns the full series (NBP from 2002, ECB from 1999, DN from 1977 etc.). For bulk export, paginate by year.
