Yes. ExpenseBot keeps the original receipt amount and currency, and converts it to your home currency when a supported historical rate is available.
How it works
- Currency detection. When you capture a receipt (photo, upload, or Gmail auto-scan), the AI reads the currency from the printed symbol and the receipt's formatting, and keeps the original amount and currency on the row. If a receipt is ambiguous or the currency was read wrong, correct it in Review Expenses (see below).
- Date-accurate conversion. The converted amount uses the exchange rate published for the receipt's transaction date, not today's rate. The rate is resolved once when the row is written and stored as a plain number in the FX Rate column, so it never changes on its own.
- When no historical rate is available. If ExpenseBot cannot find a published rate for that currency pair and transaction date, it leaves the FX Rate cell blank instead of guessing or using today's rate. Until a rate is supplied, that row's home-currency amount shows 0 and the row is flagged for review. Type the exact rate your card issuer applied into the FX Rate cell and the converted amount recalculates. A missing rate is never replaced with a live or approximate rate.
- Both amounts kept. Each row stores the original currency and amount (what the receipt said) alongside the converted home-currency amount and the rate used.
- Editable rate. The exchange rate lives in the FX Rate cell of your spreadsheet. Override it with the exact rate your card issuer applied if you want a row to match your statement to the cent — the converted total recalculates automatically.
- Reports in your home currency. Totals, category breakdowns, and exports use your home currency, with original amounts still visible per row. Resolve any flagged missing rates before relying on totals: unconverted rows can leave those totals understated.
Three different currency choices
- Receipt (source) currency — the currency printed on the receipt. ExpenseBot stores it on the row and keeps the original amount.
- Home currency — the one currency your totals and reports use. Choose it in Settings → General Settings → Home Currency. If you change it, ExpenseBot asks whether to re-convert your existing expenses and income using each row's own transaction date.
- Correcting a receipt's currency — open Review Expenses, open the expense, and use the Currency field in Edit expense details. ExpenseBot then re-resolves the historical rate for that receipt's date. The dropdown's selectable codes are not proof of which currencies receipt extraction or exchange-rate providers support. If the correct code is missing, do not choose a different currency as a workaround; email support@expensebot.ai for help. A missing option does not establish an account or regional restriction.
