Floatrates.com, no updated currency exchange rates

Posted on by Johannes Lunner

Hi,

It seems that the feeds from Floatrates.com, which could be used in connection with NAV/BC, hasn't been updated the last couple of days. For example, the USD feed (http://www.floatrates.com/daily/usd.xml), was last updated February 27.

Is it anyone who has more information about this? When trying to contact their support, I just got an error message that my case couldn't be sent to them. There is no other contact details on the web site either.

Otherwise, is it anybody who has any advice for substitute to Floatrates.com?

Thanks in advance

Best Regards
Johannes Lunner

Hi

So far I tried many services and had no success. The best one are bank of Canada and Bank of Europe but they only have CAD/EUR.

For UK maybe look into the following app.

I noticed this issue as well, but saw the rates were being updated a couple of days later.

We have noticed a few other irregularities with floatrates lately. Very strange rates fed in for 31 March for CHF/GBP (3.795 v normally around 1.2) and also different rates fed into different companies (eg GBP/USD rate in GBP company different to a USD/GBP rate in USD company). It's throwing a lot of our IC balances out. Seems we have lucked out with the freebie and are going to have to subscribe to a paid service I think. Any recommendations?

Hi, maybe the following site will help. It will be a bit troublesome when dealing with field mapping

https://www.fxexchangerate.com/

For example: Chinese Yuan(CNY)

Hope this will help.
Thanks.

I was looking into the DNS record, but it was not given me any contact information.

SLA is the poor with free service.

Soo looking forward for alternative solutions.

Hi

I just found www.rba.gov.au/.../exchange-rates.html or www.rba.gov.au/.../rss-cb-exchange-rates.xml but I did not have time to test it or see if even works
