Money should feel local. WanderWallet is built for travelers and expats who are physically in Latin America and need to spend on real life: food, transport, hotels, pharmacies, coworking, and everyday purchases. WanderWallet connects to whichever local rail is dominant in each country. QR codes, transfers, or both: - Pix in Brazil - Mercado Pago, MODO, and Transferencias 3.0 QR codes plus Alias, CVU, and CBU transfers in Argentina - Bre-B transfers in Colombia - QR Simple in Bolivia Why this matters: In many LATAM markets, tourists lose money to foreign-card FX rates or waste time managing cash. WanderWallet gives you one transparent local-spending experience across multiple countries, and your balance stays in USD or EUR until you actually spend. Brazil: - Pay with Pix QR codes or send Pix transfers to any Pix key (phone, email, CPF, or random key) - Skip CPF and local-bank bureaucracy for day-to-day spending Argentina: - Pay by QR with Mercado Pago, MODO, or Transferencias 3.0 - Or send local transfers using Alias, CVU, or CBU, the routing IDs every Argentine bank and wallet supports - In practice, this is often about 2 to 3 percent better than major foreign card networks Colombia: - Send Bre-B transfers using a Colombian phone number - If someone gives you a number for Nequi, Daviplata, or Bancolombia, it usually works as a Bre-B key too - Spend in COP from your USD or EUR balance without per-transaction card FX margins Bolivia: - Official rate is 6.96 BOB/USD - WanderWallet uses the parallel exchange rate, around 8.50 to 9.00 BOB/USD - That is roughly 25 percent better than official-rate ATM and card flows - You scan QR Simple and pay from your phone What you get in-app: - Exact local-currency amount before you confirm - Clear conversion preview - Instant payment confirmation - One wallet across multiple countries - Send USD instantly between WanderWallet users with no fees How it works: 1) Sign up and verify 2) Add funds via bank transfer (USD/EUR), Revolut, or USDC on Polygon 3) Pay by QR or send a local transfer, depending on the country WanderWallet is not a remittance app. It is for in-country spending. If you are there and need to pay, this is built for you. Money should feel local.

About

convertFrog

Features
Read full description

convertFrog is a fast, minimal currency converter built around one idea: you should see every amount converted at once, without typing. Pick two currencies and scroll. The left column shows amounts in the currency you convert from, the right column shows the converted amounts. Prices at a market stall, a restaurant bill, a hotel booking: just find the number in the left column and read the answer on the right. SWIPE TO SCALE • Swipe left to multiply the step between rows by 10: 1, 2, 3 becomes 10, 20, 30, then 100, 200, 300 and beyond. • Swipe right to divide by 10 for small amounts: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3. • Tap any row to reveal the steps in between. • Long-press any amount to copy it. DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY • Two currencies, one clean list. No clutter, no ads. • Swap the pair with one tap, or by swiping across the header. • Search all world currencies by code, country or name, with the popular ones on top. • Dark, easy-on-the-eyes design. YOUR RATES, YOUR RULES • Set a custom rate for any pair, for example the rate your bank or exchange bureau actually gives you, and switch back to the live rate any time. • "Round the numbers" simplifies amounts for quick mental maths. • Choose a home currency so your conversions start where you want. WORKS ANYWHERE • Live exchange rates are refreshed automatically and cached on your device, so the app keeps working offline with the last downloaded rates. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no tracking, no analytics, no ads. Your settings stay on your device. Exchange rates are provided by open.er-api.com (ExchangeRate-API), are indicative only and may be delayed. They are not financial advice; actual rates charged by banks and providers differ.
