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."

— Early beta tester

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.

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%).

Summary
→Rate alerts notify you within 1 second of your target rate being hit.
→Auto-convert executes the trade automatically — no manual intervention needed.
→Same fees as manual conversions (from 0.60%). No premium for automation.
→Available on all currency pairs: USD, GBP, EUR, USDC.
→Combine with DCA: set a recurring auto-convert on the 1st of every month.

Set your first rate alert.

Monitor rates 24/7 and convert automatically when the price is right.
