I make recurring payments that require exchange. I’m absolutely not financially savvy. I’m good at managing my personal budget but when it comes to financial jargon and market know hows I’m a dummy.
I’m looking for some kind of tool that helps me monitor exchange rates and sends me alerts. I’m hoping to make the payments in as much of a favorable window as possible.
I tried installing Revolut but I’m not going to use it (I can only make the payments with Western Union) and I found all the data they requested just too much for nothing.
I hope you Lemmies can recommend a FOSS app for this? Or at least something privacy friendly? Remember I’m not using it to pay, just to monitor.
TIA
Not FOSS, but XE is what I use for currency exchange
Sounds like they need my phone, address, name, etc. which I’m trying to avoid. I just want to monitor. I don’t want the app to transfer or exchange money.
I don’t have an account there, I only use the app when I need to know what are the rates at that moment.
Ok that’s good info, thanks!
check if their website is okay. privacy wise it’s much better to use a webpage than an app
I am used to XE just because I’ve used it since, like, forever. I just uninstalled and see if this app Currencies fits the bill.
