Your wallet contents are expressed in your local currency and, unless you specify differently, the quantity you specify for the topup will be used directly to deduct from your balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For topups where both the sender and recipient use the same currency (Local topups being the most obvious case) this is fine but, in general, when sending international TopUps a currency conversion will need to take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t worry, Reloadly has you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In case your balance is expressed in a currency different to the one of the receiving party you have the option of asking Reloadly to make the conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this Reloadly will use an exchange rate specific to the operator you’re sending credit to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s say you live in the US and you want to make a topup for a phone in Colombia and you want to use Colombian Peso to express the amount to be sent to the recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let me illustrate this with an example to make things clearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You want to make a COP 20,000 topup for The sequence would be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ll assume you know how to perform steps 1 and 2 (If not, just follow the appropriate links) and show you the details of step 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since you prefer the recipient to be credited a specific number in their own currency, you have to inform Reloadly about that by slightly changing the request you’d usually send.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply use the Which will produce an output similar to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you look at the bottom ( Before sending the top-up it was USD 766.814 and after it is USD 755.85748.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means that the exchange rate for this particular operator is 1 USD = COP 1,825.38 (10.95652 USD = 20,000 COP). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Note<\/span>: bear in mind that exchange rates are fluctuant so the exact<\/em> numbers you’ll get when running this example might not be a perfect match for what you’re reading here but doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are times where you may want to know how many pesos the recipient will get for every USD deducted from your wallet before carrying the operation out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n+57 301 4264205<\/code>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nuseLocalAmount<\/code> parameter.
