The problem
Exchange rates move constantly. If you're waiting for a favourable rate to convert local currency to USD — or GBP to local currency — you've probably spent hours checking your phone, only to miss the window by an hour.
We heard this from users repeatedly: "I knew the rate was good yesterday but I was busy and missed it."
"I set an alert for a favourable GBP/USD rate. It triggered at 3am while I was sleeping. Auto-convert had already executed. I woke up to a notification that I'd saved the equivalent of R400 compared to the previous day's rate."

How it works
Rate alerts
Go to any currency pair in your wallet and tap "Set Alert." Enter your target rate — for example, "Notify me when GBP/USD rises above 1.28."
We monitor rates 24/7 across our liquidity providers. When your target is hit, you'll receive a push notification and email within 1 second.
What you can track
Auto-convert
Alerts are useful. But auto-convert is where it gets powerful. Instead of just notifying you, CitizenWealth can execute the conversion automatically when your target rate is reached.
Set it up: choose the pair, enter the target rate, enter the amount, and toggle "Auto-convert." Done. The conversion happens instantly at your target rate with the same low fees (from 0.60%).
Set your first rate alert.
Monitor rates 24/7 and convert automatically when the price is right.
