# Currency Converter 

### Display vs Local Currency

This issue is regarding what currency financial information is displayed in throughout the platform.

### Solution

#### Company

Company admins can customise their "Display Currency", this is what would be seen on the front end (e.g Convertible amounts, Deal Room, etc). This can be changed by admins of a company. I believe the best idea is to begin by setting this automatically as either: their local currency, or USD (most popular option). 

The "Local currency" is set automatically by the company headquarters (incorporation location) and cannot be changed unless the location is changed.

#### Users (More advanced)

Users should be able to toggle which currency they see displayed throughout the Raise platform. 

Within the new dashboard (being developed during June's Cycle), they will be able to find and customise this information within their profile page.
