About National Bank of Rwanda

The National Bank of Rwanda publishes daily official franc rates — an average (reference) rate with buying and selling quotes — for the major world and East African currencies. Kigali's rate matters well beyond Rwanda's borders: the franc corridor with Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda carries substantial regional trade, and the series reaches back to 2012.

Why use the official National Bank of Rwanda rate?

When an auditor or tax office in Rwanda asks which rate you used, "the RWF mid-market rate at 14:32" is not an answer — the official rate published by National Bank of Rwanda for that date is. This API returns exactly those published figures, stamped with the bank's own rate_date; on weekends and holidays the most recent published table is returned, as compliance rules expect.

If a pair isn't in the bank's published table, the API computes it from that table (inverse or cross via RWF) and marks it "derived": true — published and computed values are never silently mixed.

Endpoints

• GET /api/v1/central-bank/bnrw/latest — latest table or single pair (all plans)
• GET /api/v1/central-bank/bnrw/{YYYY-MM-DD} — the table for any date (paid plans)
• GET /api/v1/central-bank/bnrw/history — time series, up to 5,000 rows (paid plans)
• GET /api/v1/central-bank/bnrw/availability — publication calendar: the dates the bank actually published (all plans)

Full parameter reference in the API documentation. Every request counts toward your plan's monthly quota — rates change once per business day, so caching a published table locally makes a small quota go far.

Frequently asked questions
