App for iPhone

The right exchange rate, wherever you are.

Valico works out which country you're in, remembers the currencies you use and tells you what you really pay. Even without a connection.

Coming soon to the App StoreSee how it works

Requires an iPhone with iOS 26 or later. The app is currently in Italian.

Valico's Instant Exchange screen: Mexican pesos converted to euros, with the real cost of paying by card. Valico's favorites screen: five currency pairs with the trend of the last seven days.

Made for travelers

A few things, done well: you find them when you need them, without having to look.

Knows where you are

Land in Mexico and pesos and euros are already set up. The app works out the country on your phone, with no connection and without sending your location to anyone.

Shows what you really pay

The mid-market rate doesn't include fees. Pick card, cash or airport exchange and see the difference in euros, with a reminder: at the checkout, always pay in the local currency.

Works offline

It keeps the latest rates and tells you how recent they are. Every pair is calculated on your phone, not just the ones you've already looked at.

Your favorites, with trends

Up to five pairs on your home screen, each with its own reference amount. Tap for the chart: one week, one month, one year or five.

Search the way you talk

Type “Mexico” and find the Mexican peso. Type “dollar” and see every variant.

Light by day, dark by night

A landscape that follows your phone's theme, with text and numbers that always stay easy to read.

Honest about rates

Other apps show you the mid-market rate and stop there. Valico also shows what paying that way really costs you, so you can choose before you pay.

Example: 1,250 Mexican pesos, at 21.50 pesos per euro
