The most frustrating part of traveling abroad is currency conversion. Master this technique to make your travel expense tracking easy and accurate!
Why Multi-Currency Tracking?
When traveling abroad, you might use various currencies:
- Local Currency — For flights, pre-booked activities
- USD — Credit card hotel bookings, international platforms
- JPY/EUR/etc. — Local restaurants, transportation, shopping
Step 1: Enable Currencies in Group Settings
Setup Steps
- 1. Go to group page, tap "Settings" in the top right
- 2. Find "Currency Settings"
- 3. Enable all currencies you'll use during the trip
- 4. Select a "Primary Currency" for settlement (usually your home currency)
Step 2: Set Exchange Rates
After enabling currencies, you can choose:
Auto Exchange Rate
- • System fetches daily rates automatically
- • Perfect for those who don't want hassle
- • Rates update over time
Custom Rate
- • Set based on your actual exchange rate
- • More precise calculations

Step 3: Record in the Currency You Paid
This is the most important principle!
Recording Examples

Booking.com in EUR → Record in EUR
🍜
Ramen ¥1,200
Paid cash in Japan → Record in JPY
The system automatically converts all expenses to your primary currency for settlement. No manual calculations needed!
