    Launched this last night! Pretty robust currency conversion with customization. Next time you go on a trip, try it out and let me know how you like it!

    FYI: It is a premium feature (like other bills plitting platforms), but SME has free trials if you want to give it a go for free.

    Sharing some work in progress here, where you can go to a group, click convert expenses to a single currency, choose that currency, optionally provide a conversion rate (if you'd like to override it), and click submit. It will go through all expenses in the group that are not in your target currency and convert them and adjust the group balances.

    I'd love to see this feature. It's the one pain point for me - having results in two currencies at the end doesn't match with how we'll actually settle.

    (Inevitably- we take that data, then figure out what we owe in our home currency)

    Fwiw - I'd be perfectly happy to set a manual rate for e.g. EUR -> GPB, it doesn't need to be realtime currency rates.

    I'd actually have a 'settling' currency which was different from the group default currency.

    When I go on a trip - most of the expenses are in EUR, so that makes sense as the default currency for data entry. Perhaps the flights were GBP. But we're going to settle in GBP.

    +1 for this, bonus points for defaulting to some on-the-day rate, but please also plan for a rate override - since cash is often exchanged at some known rate one or two times during (or before) a trip
