The underlying problem is that there is no standard rate even within a bank. CBA for example has a rate that's on the board in the bank lobby and on their website, a rate they give to the Nation, and a rate that can be negotiated on the phone. None of those rates are the same. I haven't done currencies in a while but these guys look pretty solid: https://openexchangerates.org/ http://openexchangerates.org/currencies.json OANDA is the 'standard' but it's expensive to use and the API is poorly done. -Adam https://twitter.com/varud https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 1:51 PM, Brian Ngure <brian@pixie.co.ke> wrote:
Hi Okech,
Thanks for link.
"Locally" because some clients may wish to know the source of the rates in use and may not be happy if it is not from a local bank or CBK.

I believe XE.com is very accurate (why the obsession with 'locally' since currency trading is borderless) and should have some API

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if any of the local banks or CBK provides and API to get exchange rates for different currencies? Or any other local authority?
