Get exchange rates

At Tango, the default currency for accounts are USD, but we also offer currency functionality in CAD, EUR, and GBP. If you would like to transact in a currency other than USD, reach out to one of our Technical Support specialists or email [email protected]. Once the change takes place, a confirmation will be sent to the requestor upon completion. Allow for one business day for the change to take place.

Note:

*Currency changes can only take place on an account that doesn’t have any transactions. If transactions have already occurred, a new account will have to be created reflecting the requested currency.

*Exchange rates are updated once per day, starting at 12:00 UTC and no later than +13:00 UTC.
