Post Office launches currency watch app
The Post Office has launched a currency converter watch app, which can be downloaded free from the App Store or Watch App Store.
The new app, available for Apple watches, gives access to live daily exchange rates for 70 currencies, allowing wearers to calculate the cost of overseas expenditure.
It can be used by voice, tap or force touch and hosts a ‘how much is that’ converter to allow wearers to quickly find out how much an item costs when they’re overseas.
Post Office buy-back exchange rates have also been added to the app, allowing tourists to calculate how much their unused currency is worth.
The App can also be used by overseas visitors allowing them to, calculate their costs whilst visiting the UK.
