National Bank of Poland (NBP) currency exchange rates

The current way in which The National Bank of Poland (NBP) shares its currency exchange rates (via Excel files) is changing after 29 February 2024.

After this date, the only way to obtain exchange rates from NBP will be through their API.

The newest versions of WEBCON BPS 2022 and 2023 account for this, and to continue loading exchange rates, you will need to update to version 2022.1.4.404 and 2023.1.3.76 respectively.

What exactly is changing and why?

How currency exchange rates are loaded from NBP is changing. The exchange rates table will no longer be loaded from an Excel file but via API https://api.nbp.pl/en.html.

This change will increase the accuracy of certain exchange rates. The exchange rates will still be stored in the WEBBCON database in the same format and will maintain backward compatibility.

Because not all tables are published every day (each type has its schedule), information about a certain table not being published on the given day will be logged when loading the exchange rates (this will not result in an error). 

What do I need to do?

Update your environment to the newest version of WEBCON BPS, either 2022.1.4.404 or 2023.1.3.76

What about older versions?

We will provide a tool that will synchronize these exchange rates for you.

This tool will be available free of charge to Software Assurance holders.
