Look up historical Bank of China exchange rates for specific date ranges. Get accurate currency conversion data for financial audits and cross-border settlements.
Data is available from January 1, 2009 to today. Each query can cover up to 90 days.
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This page lets you select one currency and query historical rate records for a chosen date range. It is intended for readers researching China-related bank-rate records in English; it is not a US dollar-to-local-currency converter. The result identifies the selected currency and range, then lists records returned for that query. A selected date does not guarantee that a record exists for every day.
The query accepts dates from January 1, 2009 through today and allows at most 90 calendar days, counting both the first and last date. To review a longer period, split it into separate ranges. This limit describes the form’s query window, not a promise that records exist back to the earliest date for every currency.
Each returned record can include a publication date, Middle Rate, Buying Rate, Selling Rate, Cash Buying Rate, and Cash Selling Rate. Buying, selling, cash buying, cash selling, and middle are separate labels: choose the column that matches the record or source you are checking, and preserve its original name when exporting. The Bank of China publishes a rate table with these same field names, which can help readers recognize the labels; it does not confirm that this lookup’s provider uses the same underlying records or conventions.
The result does not establish a US market closing rate, a rate offered by a US bank, or an executable quote for a transaction. The returned values’ unit and quotation basis are not confirmed here, so do not assume a value means a particular amount of CNY per one unit of foreign currency. Bank of China’s exchange-rate table is a reference for its published field labels.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Search the currency selector by its code or name and choose the currency whose returned records you want to inspect. The form takes one currency selection; it does not ask for a source-and-target pair.
Use the date fields to set a range beginning no earlier than January 1, 2009 and ending no later than today. The end date must be the same as or later than the start date, and the inclusive range cannot exceed 90 calendar days. For a single date, enter that date in both fields.
Run the query, then check the selected currency, date range, publication date, and column labels. A result with no rows means the query returned no records; it does not mean a rate of zero. If rows are absent, check the selected currency and dates, then try a narrower range.
Use the copy action to copy the table or export it as CSV. The table is paginated and offers 10, 20, or 50 rows per page. Keep the currency code, publication date, and exact rate-column name with any copied data so the record can be reviewed later.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
A finance or operations team can query the currency and date associated with an old invoice or payment record, then compare the returned field labels and date against its own supporting documents.
A researcher or analyst can query one or more ranges of up to 90 calendar days, export the rows, and assemble them in a spreadsheet while retaining the original currency, date, and field names.
Someone studying a China-related currency history can hold the selected currency and rate column constant across separate queries. This keeps different fields from being mixed into one comparison.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
No. It counts calendar days inclusively, so weekends and holidays count toward the range. Split a longer period into separate queries, each no longer than 90 calendar days.
A date selection only defines the query window; it does not guarantee a returned record for every date or currency. Check the currency and range, then narrow the search. No returned row is not a zero rate.
Not by itself. These are historical records returned by a third-party service, and the provider’s original collector, unit, quotation basis, and refresh schedule have not been verified. Compare with the bank confirmation, statement, or transaction receipt for the relevant deal.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
This lookup displays historical records from a third-party service. Its original data publisher, complete currency and date coverage, update timing, and retention policy have not been confirmed. Do not describe the records as an official Bank of China feed, a complete daily series, or real-time rates.
Rate fields are not interchangeable, and the displayed value unit is not confirmed. Do not multiply a payment amount by a returned value or cite a value as an accounting rate until you verify its currency direction, unit, date convention, and field meaning with an authoritative source for your use case. For financial, tax, or audit work, follow the applicable policy and retain primary transaction evidence; this lookup is not financial, tax, or accounting advice.
When querying, the selected currency and dates are sent to the lookup service and its upstream provider. The provider’s retention practices are unknown; do not submit information that is not needed for the query.
