Not affiliated with the BCB, ASFI or any bank. The TCO is the official reference published by the BCB, subject to the validity shown. The parallel rate is an estimate from Binance P2P BOB/USDT offers, not an official quotation or a guaranteed cash price.
Each parallel side is compared with the same earlier valid paired observation from the same source, at the time shown. The gap compares Parallel Sell with the applicable TCO; spread is Sell minus Buy. Source times are independent. Missing comparisons are unavailable, not zero change.

The official rate is the rule. Official BCB reference; confirm the rate applicable to your transaction.
The parallel rate is the market. Changes during the day and is not official.
The official rate is the rule
Official BCB reference; confirm the rate applicable to your transaction. The BCB publishes the TCO at 23:30 on business days, effective the following day; Friday’s publication applies on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Check the validity interval. The TCO is one official value. Each bank’s buy and sell quotations are shown separately.
The parallel rate is the market
Estimated from public BOB/USDT offers on Binance P2P. It changes during the day and is not official. It is a reference from observed offers, not evidence of executed trades or a guaranteed cash quotation.
Main comparison between the Official Exchange Rate (TCO) and the parallel dollar, estimated from P2P data. The BCB reference remains available as a secondary option: it is a historical series that stopped being published, and it is drawn only over the dates it actually covers.
Observed rates
Observed data up to today. Bands cover only the future segment and are built from historical out-of-sample errors; they are not a guaranteed probability. The future Parallel band, when available, refers to the sell side. The numerical TCO forecast is suspended for RD 142 revalidation. No estimate is official or guaranteed.

OBSERVED BANK RATES
Buy is what the bank pays you for your dollars; sell is what it charges you to sell them to you. Compare the public dollar buy and sell rates published by Bolivian banks. They can vary by channel, amount, availability and type of operation. Check with the institution before you transact.
Some banks publish only the TCO or only one side of the operation. In those cases we show clearly marked estimated values. A stale figure can stay visible, but it does not take part in “best rate” or in the calculator.
Digital dollar
You hand over bolivianos and receive USDT. Price in bolivianos per unit.

A P2P advertisement's price depends on the amount and a bank's quote does not, so they sit in separate groups and never share a position. This is not the parallel market shown at the top of the page, which is a market median.

A single observation: no position is published when there is only one provider in the group. A P2P advertisement's price depends on the amount and a bank's quote does not, so they sit in separate groups and never share a position. This is not the parallel market shown at the top of the page, which is a market median. These are different products — asset, custody and transfer are not the same — so we do not publish a single «best digital dollar».

This is the official value in force published by the BCB. Always check the effective date: tomorrow's value can be announced before it takes effect. Under RD 142 the TCO remains one value; bank quotations are independent.
It summarises public P2P offers and can change during the day. It is a non-official comparison, not a guaranteed price and not a recommendation.
Closed series, with no new observations. It adds historical and institutional context, but it must not be mixed with the TCO or applied to a conversion made today.
Before using the tools
The official BCB exchange rate is the active TCO value published by the Central Bank. Buy and Sell are each bank’s separately published quotations, not offsets from the scalar TCO under RD 142. The Parallel Dollar is a non-official market signal estimated from public P2P data.
Check the reference that matches your situation and keep the three separate. For example, a card charge, cash exchange, remittance, or business quote may use different terms. Banks, platforms, exchange houses, providers, and card processors may apply their own fees, spreads, limits, timing, settlement dates, and rules.

View original sourceIt depends on the transaction. The official BCB rate is the current official value published by the BCB, the BCB referential rate is a historical series, and the parallel dollar is a non-official signal estimated from P2P data.
Buy generally shows what a source pays for your dollars. Sell generally shows what it charges to sell dollars to you. For USD expenses converted to bolivianos, the sell side is usually the practical comparison.
For current international payments, confirm the actual quotation, timing, limits and fees with your bank or platform. The BCB referential series is historical and is not an automatic current payment rate.
The parallel dollar is not official. It is estimated from public P2P and open-source data, and can be compared with the historical BCB referential series, keeping their dates and sources separate.
