FX API

[Anton_P]

In the Visa file with currency exchange rates (TC56), there are two positions for each currency pair: buy_rate and sale_rate. Is it possible to obtain both of these positions within the FX API (for example, by requesting the same currency pair in a different order)? If not, is there similar information in the Enhanced FX API?

Hi @Anton_P,

I've asked the product team and will get back soon once I hear from them.

Hi @Anton_P,

The Visa Direct Foreign Exchange API was created to make it easier for the Visa Direct clients, so they don't have to do calculation on their end. Meaning we apply the appropriate rate (buy or sell) based on several factors. That being said, the only way to get this additional Al information is through the TC 56 file as no API supports this today based on the original vision and business ask.
