Banks’ Exchange Rates for Commercial Clients • For Commercial Clients, Banks are free to quote any Exchange Rate depending upon FIBR, their own liquidity and commercial objectives. • Banks typically issue their daily Exchange Rate sheets for commercial clients which provide the buying/selling Exchange Rate of various Foreign Currencies. • The Exchange Rate quoted by a Bank e.g. National Bank of Pakistan will be relevant only for NBP’s customers and may differ from the Exchange Rate quoted by any other Bank.
