Feature
Multi-currency accounts with rates you control
Every account in Chillar's has its own currency. Net worth converts each balance to your base currency using published rates, refreshed daily, and you can override any individual rate. An account whose rate is missing contributes zero rather than a wrong number.
Rates you can correct
Published mid-market rates are a starting point. Set an override for any currency pair, such as the rate your remittance service gave you, and every conversion uses it from then on.
A missing rate is never a wrong number
If a rate is unavailable, the account contributes zero to net worth and labels itself, instead of falling back to 1:1. You can see which account is missing a rate and set one.
Formatting follows your locale
Set your locale to en-IN and amounts group in lakh and crore with a rupee symbol; set it to en-US and the same amounts group in thousands with a dollar sign. Chillar's formats at the last step and never touches the stored value.
Frequently asked questions
- Where do the exchange rates come from?
- Rates are refreshed daily from a public exchange-rate feed, stored against a single base currency, and cross-rates are derived from it. You can override any rate yourself, and your override always wins.
- Does changing my base currency convert my history?
- No. Changing your base currency changes what net worth and totals are reported in. The amount stored on each transaction is the amount in that account's own currency and is never rewritten.
