Where our exchange rates come from.
Every published comparison row is tied to an official bank source, an effective date and a human approval step.
Last updated August 29, 2026
Official bank sources
The first release compares cash buying and selling rates for USD, EUR, GBP, AED and SAR. Select a bank below to open its official source.
How a rate becomes published
- 1Collect
A daily collector reads the banks’ public rate feeds or tables.
- 2Normalize
Currencies, dates, cash rate type and bank names are standardized.
- 3Check
Values must be numeric and positive, bank sell cannot be below buy, the source must be valid, and same-currency bank spreads must remain below 10 birr.
- 4Approve
A human reviews passing rows before they enter the public comparison and history.
What the comparison does not guarantee
Published rates are informational, not a transaction quote. A branch may apply a different rate type, fee, limit, eligibility rule or availability condition. Confirm the final amount directly with the bank before exchanging money.
