Your bank has provided bid and ask spot rates for the following currencies, ARS (Argentina), AUD (Australia), BRL (Brasil/Brazil), CNY (China), EUR (Euro), GBP (Great Britain), INR (India), JPY Japan), LKR (Sri Lanka), NZD (New Zealand), SOL (Peru), TRY (Turkey), USD (United States of America), and ZAR (South Africa).
