Which currencies does Dashen Bank exchange?

Dashen Bank publishes rates for 12 currencies against the Ethiopian birr, listed in full on this page. A currency the bank does not quote is left out rather than shown as zero - if it is not in the table, that bank does not deal in it.

Are DSH rates the same at every branch?

The published board is set centrally and applies bank-wide, so the rate should be the same at any Dashen Bank branch on a given day. Availability is not: a smaller branch may not hold enough physical foreign currency to fill a large cash exchange, and larger transactions may require identification and supporting documents.

How does ET-Forex get Dashen Bank rates?

Directly from the exchange rate board Dashen Bank publishes itself, re-read automatically several times a day. Nothing here is estimated and no parallel market rate is included. If the bank has not refreshed its board, this page says so and shows the trading day the figures actually belong to instead of implying they are current.
