Are ZZB 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 Zamzam 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 Zamzam Bank rates?

Directly from the exchange rate board Zamzam 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.
