How to convert between currencies

Written by Calen Support

Want to turn naira into dollars, or USDC into naira, before you send it on? You can convert between the wallets on your account. Here's how it looks on screen.

Here's how

  1. Open the wallet you want to convert from, or find Convert in your account.

  2. Choose the currency you're converting into.

  3. Enter the amount. We'll show you a quote, the amount you'll receive, the fees and any limits, and how long the quote is valid.

  4. If you're happy with it, confirm. In the app, we'll ask for your PIN.

  5. The money lands in the wallet you chose, once the conversion is done.

If the quote expires before you confirm, just start again. Rates move, so the new quote may be a little different.

Good to know: When you send money, the send screen may include a conversion for you. If it doesn't, convert first, then send. Those are two steps, each with its own timing.

Quick tip: Check the amount you'll receive, not just the rate, before you confirm.
