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
Does that matter? Is there such a huge discrepancy?
depends on the purpose
I guess for your use case not really
how often do you need to check?
I pay roughly once a month, but I have some flexibility with when I pay so I don’t know? A couple times a month?
are you ok with disclosing your e-mail to the rates provider?
I’d rather not. Like others said, there are websites which already present this information available for anyone, so my hopes were in finding some app that just presented data for you without the need for an account or else.
But you still want to be able to be notified upon the currency rate surpassing the threshold you set?
