Multi-currency chaos in 2026? I battle-tested a solution for you.

If you’ve been following my work for a while, you know I have a slightly visceral need to do proper due diligence and test solutions on myself before I share them.

Which is why I’m genuinely excited (and a little proud) to share my first brand collaboration — with Lunch Money, a global budgeting app.

If you operate in multiple currencies across multiple banks, this one’s for you.

As a fellow expat juggling SGD, EUR, GBP and USD, tracking income and spending felt like reconciliation hell:

❌ Manual monthly currency conversions.
❌ Bank statements in different formats.
❌ 30 mins “reconciling" missing transactions.

I used to blame myself for a lack of discipline - but honestly, my system was broken.

And every tech-savvy solution I had tried:

❌ Didn’t link to non-US banks.
❌ Fell apart with multi-currency, and;
❌ Created more work.

So when I met Lunch Money at FinCon, I was immediately skeptical.

But after battle-testing it for a quarter (with Customer Success Lead, Din) I was impressed - which doesn’t happen often.

If you already know you want to try it, here’s a free two-month trial (you can come back for the 7 questions below):

Here are the 7 questions I asked that won me over (for more details + screenshots, download the PDF).

1️⃣ Will my bank connect and provide transactions automatically - and how do I know it’s working?
Lunch Money connects to 19+ countries via Plaid (including most parts of Europe and Singapore) and you can see sync status + refresh.

2️⃣ Can I import transactions manually (for banks that won’t sync)?
Yes, you can import Bank statements in CSV or PDF formats in 160+ currencies, map once, so future imports take seconds.

3️⃣ Can I clean up messy transaction names?
Yes , you can standardise merchant names and create rules; it flags exceptions for review.

4️⃣ How does multi-currency tracking actually work?
Pick a primary currency, add others, and it auto-converts using daily exchange rates. Your net worth is tracked monthly in your main currency.

5️⃣ Can I track trips/projects separately?
Yes - create tags like “Kitchen Refurb” so you can see totals anytime.

6️⃣ How do I avoid budget overwhelm?
Stick to 3 simple buckets (Needs/Wants/Savings) and set rules so things auto-categorise. Dashboards show trends at a glance.

7️⃣ What’s the pricing catch?
Choose-your-price annual plan with a price lock, starting at €50/year. The platform is independently-run, ad-free, and does not sell your data to third parties.
