So far, the app claims that over 350,000 travelers have exchanged currencies through the app, which has totaled over £130 million. With this, WeSwap reports that travelers have saved "up to 90% on their [travel money](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/currency-calculator-converter) in the process." To use the app, travels just sign up for free to get a WeSwap multi-currency Mastercard, which they can they load with money and use as a normal debit card. The card is compatible with over 150 currencies, and auto-converts the home balance to the currency being used at the time. In order to receive a better rate, up to 18 currencies in different wallets can be exchanged in advance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **P2P Currency Exchange:** The trend of P2P currency exchange apps like WeSwap allows travelers to exchange money with clear and transparent rates directly with other users, disrupting traditional currency exchange methods. - **Transparent Rates:** The trend of apps like WeSwap providing clear and transparent rates for currency exchange disrupts traditional services that often have hidden fees and unfair rates. - **Multi-currency Debit Cards:** The trend of multi-currency debit cards, like the WeSwap Mastercard, offer convenience and cost savings for travelers by allowing them to load and convert multiple currencies on a single card. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Finance:** The finance industry can embrace P2P currency exchange apps to offer more convenient and transparent services to travelers, creating disruptive innovation opportunities. - **Fintech:** Fintech companies can explore the trend of transparent rates in currency exchange apps to develop innovative solutions that challenge traditional currency exchange methods. - **Travel:** The travel industry can leverage multi-currency debit cards to enhance the experience for travelers by simplifying currency conversion and saving costs, driving disruptive innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connective Economic Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swapper.md) - [Simplified Currency Conversion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exchangexpert-currency-rate.md) - [International Currency Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-currency-solutions.md) - [Travel Currency Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ratex.md) - [Simplified Digital Financing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spush-wallet.md) - [Currency Conversion Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-converter.md) - [Multi-Currency Super App Startups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contoxia.md) - [Global Money-Transferring Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hsbc-2.md) - [In-App Foreign Exchanges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itau-unibanco.md)
