Whenever you send money to Korea, shop online in the U.S., or calculate travel expenses, the first question that comes to mind is, "How much is this at the current exchange rate?" Free exchange rate app XE CurrencyIt is a tool that immediately converts and displays currencies around the world based on the mid-market rate, and is particularly useful for immigrants living in Canada.
What kind of app is it?
- You can use it for free and check exchange rates for currencies around the world as well as precious metals like gold and silver.
- You can select up to 10 currencies of interest and monitor them on one screen, making it easy to compare the Korean Won, Canadian Dollar, and US Dollar together.
- It features Rate Alerts that notify you when the rate reaches your desired level, helping you time your remittances.
- You can calculate using the last saved exchange rate even without internet, so you can use it while traveling.
- You can view past exchange rate trends on a chart, making it easy to gauge whether the current exchange rate is on the high or low side.
- It is available on both iPhone and Android, and allows for international money transfers using the XE Money Transfer feature (please be sure to check transfer fees and applicable exchange rates before sending).
Try using it like this
- After searching for and installing 'XE Currency' from the App Store, please register your frequently used currencies (KRW, CAD, USD) first.
- If you compare the exchange rates offered by banks or remittance companies with the app's mid-market rate, you can get a sense of how much the fees are. Since the app's exchange rate is a base rate, it may differ from the actual remittance rate.
- If you need to send a large amount, set up exchange rate alerts, and for non-urgent transfers, wait a few days to observe the market trends before making a decision.
Exchange rates fluctuate every day. If you have a single benchmark number in hand, you can make decisions regarding remittances and shopping much more calmly.
