The Currency widget on the Lipi dashboard tracks exchange rates: a rate chart, one big rate, or a watchlist of pairs. Premium.

Currency widget, Dashboard and reports

Problems it solves

  • I send or receive money from abroad and want the rate where I will see it daily.
  • I open a converter every time I need the dollar rate.
  • I want to know if the rate is going up or down this week.

What it is

The Currency widget puts exchange rates on your dashboard. It is a currency rate tracker: pick a currency like USD and see today’s rate and how it moved.

What problem it solves

If you have family abroad, a foreign income or a dollar account, the rate matters every week. Instead of searching “USD to NPR today”, you see it with the rest of your money. A chip shows whether it rose or fell, and the range toggle shows the trend.

How it works

  1. On Home, choose Customize dashboard, Add widget, then Currency. This needs Premium.
  2. Open Configure widget and pick a mode:
    • Chart: one rate with a line chart.
    • Rate: one big rate.
    • Watchlist: up to 5 pairs against your base currency. Currency widget settings with mode, currency and range
  3. Choose the secondary currency (USD by default) and the range: 1W, 30D or 1Y. Tap Save.
  4. Tap View all to open the Currency page for the converter and alerts. Currency widget on a phone

Details and rules

  • Plan: Premium widget. The Currency page is free. See multi-currency.
  • You can add the widget more than once with different settings.
  • Rates are stored per day, so history charts and old transactions use the right date.
  • The NRB official rate is stored separately from the market rate.
  • Works offline from the last saved copy.
  • The currency list comes from the server, not a fixed list in the app.

Questions and answers

What does the Currency widget show?

An exchange rate such as 1 USD = 136.3358 NPR with a change chip and a chart you can switch between 1 week, 30 days and 1 year. It can also show one big rate, or a watchlist of up to 5 pairs.

Is the Currency widget free?

No, the widget is Premium. The Currency page itself, with the converter and rates, is free.

Where do the rates come from?

From daily market rates that Lipi stores. The NRB official rate is stored separately because it is not the market rate.

Can I add more than one Currency widget?

Yes. You can add several, for example one chart for USD and one watchlist for AUD, GBP and EUR.

Can Lipi track exchange rates like a currency app?

Yes. Lipi shows daily rates, a history chart, a converter and rate alerts. Rates are kept by date, so a transaction from last month is converted at that month's rate.
