What it is

XE provides currency conversion, historical rate information, rate alerts, and international money-transfer quotes. Executive support teams can use it to estimate foreign costs before a trip or payment decision.

Ways to use it

Ideas from real executive operations work. Take the ones that fit.

  • Convert hotel, ground transport, and meal estimates into the traveler's home currency.
  • Check the historical rate for the date shown on a foreign receipt.
  • Set an alert for a planned vendor payment that can wait for a target rate.
  • Compare a quoted conversion with the market rate before approving a large international charge.
  • Add the source rate and check date to a planning note while keeping the final posted amount separate.

Our take

Use XE to plan and verify a conversion. The finance team or card statement should supply the final reimbursable amount.
