Spendee works well with more than one currency. Each wallet can have its own currency, you can record a transaction in any currency, and your totals are shown in one main currency.
Main currency
The main currency is the one Overview and your totals are shown in, even when your wallets use different currencies.
- Open More.
- Tap Main Currency.
- Select your currency.
You can change it again at any time.
Wallet currency
Each wallet has its own currency, which can differ from the main currency. You choose it when you create the wallet, by tapping the currency next to Initial balance.
A wallet’s currency can’t be changed later. If you need a different currency, create a new wallet. See How to change currency.
Your own exchange rate for a transaction
You can record a transaction in a currency other than the wallet’s currency, for example a payment abroad.
- Start adding a transaction.
- Tap the currency next to the amount and select the currency you paid in.
- Spendee asks which rate to use (Set exchange rate) and fills in the current rate. Change it to the rate you actually got, for example from your bank statement.
- Turn on Remember Currency if you want the next transaction to start in the same currency.
- Save the transaction.
The transaction keeps the amount in the original currency and the converted amount in the wallet’s currency.
How amounts are converted
- Overview and budgets. A transaction in another currency keeps the value it had when it was recorded, so a rate change today doesn’t rewrite what you spent back then. Spendee stores that value in US dollars and shows it in your main currency at the current rate. If your main currency is not the US dollar, past totals can still move a little with that rate.
- Balances. Wallet balances in another currency are converted to your main currency at today’s exchange rate.
