Alternatively, enter the amount to receive. The amount to send will be automatically calculated based on the conversion rate displayed.
10. Select Confirm transfer.
The funds will be immediately transferred from your source wallet to your destination wallet.
In addition to transferring funds from another wallet, you can also fund your alternative currency wallet by making a deposit from your bank.
If you’ve activated a new currency in Soldo, you can fund the new wallet by transferring money from another Main wallet. This is useful if you don’t want to deposit from a bank, or if you need to temporarily move funds between currencies to manage cash flow.
Example: You have GBP in your default Main wallet and want to move money to a newly activated EUR wallet. This transfer automatically applies the relevant exchange rate at the time of transfer.
