Supported banks

List available BankFXApi source banks and their identifiers. Use bank codes to request published exchange rates from a specific institution.

GET/v1/banks

The Supported Banks API allows you to retrieve a dynamic, up-to-date list of all supported central banks and reference sources from which you can obtain exchange rates.

This ensures that your integration is always aware of any newly added or disabled bank sources.

Making an API Request

To fetch the list of supported banks, send a GET request to the following endpoint:

https://api.bankfxapi.com/v1/banks
