  Do you have a Wise card?
  The Wise App / Website allows you to set an automatic conversion when your currency hits your desired rate.

    I do have a Wise card, I'm using Wise to do the conversion but wow I don't know they have that option. Izzit possible to just set an alert but not doing the auto conversion? I'm transferring from a foreign bank account not a "Wise foreign currency account"

      You can get an email alert from Wise if you don't want to auto convert.

      It doesn't account for any other fees you may incur from different banks though, but will at least give you an idea when the rates are near where you want them to be before converting.

        Do you know can I set this rates tracker with Wise App or can only use browser? Looking around in App but couldn't find it.

          @doubledippps: You can get a push alert through the Wise App when the rate gets to your target threshold.

          Easiest way I found is to click the link I sent you first and set up an email alert.
          You will need to confirm your email.
          Doesn't matter what currency you choose or the level but I set it to below the current rate so you get an instant alert email.
          Click it from mobile and then you can select a push alert and create new notifications for other currencies or levels.
