Why is my bank's rate different?

Each bank and cambio sets its own rate and margin. The BOJ figure is the average of the trades in the market, so it is a fair reference.

What is the difference between the buying and selling rate?

The buying rate is what dealers pay you for US dollars. The selling rate is what you pay them to buy US dollars. The selling rate is higher.
