Ceum keeps a table of currency exchange rates plus current spot prices for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Anywhere mixed currencies appear, these rates are used to show amounts in your display currency. The rates update automatically once a day.
What you can do
Open the Exchange rates page to see the current rates table and the precious-metals card. Rates refresh automatically once a day, and you can trigger a manual refresh from this page (with a short cooldown between refreshes).
What's displayed
The page shows two cards:
Currency rates — a sortable, filterable table of currency pairs with three columns: the currency code with its symbol, the rate against the base currency (USD), and a "quoted as" formula like 1 USD = 0.92 EUR. The card shows when the rates were last updated.
Precious metals — a separate card listing gold, silver, platinum, and palladium as USD prices. It carries its own last-updated time and can refresh independently of the currency rates.
The same rates apply to everyone in Ceum — there isn't a per-user rate set. Your currency formatting (symbol, decimals, separator) is your own, though.
How rates are used elsewhere
- Transaction display — when an amount in a non-default currency appears, Ceum converts it to your display currency and shows the conversion as a tooltip. See Currency formatting.
- Invoice display — the same conversion tooltip appears on invoices whose currency differs from your display currency.
- Dashboard charts — totals are converted into your display currency for trend charts.
- Reports — totals use the rate captured on the transaction date when available.
- Subscription totals — the stats cards on Subscriptions add up renewals per currency and convert the result into your display currency; the monthly-equivalent card links here.
Tips and edge cases
- Conversion is for display only. Stored amounts keep their original currency value; rates change how the number is shown, not what's saved.
- Privacy mode hides conversions. When privacy mode is on, the conversion tooltip is hidden along with the underlying number; see Privacy mode.
- No historical rate view. The page shows the latest rates only.
On mobile
Not available on the mobile app — manage from the web app. The mobile app still uses the latest rates to convert amounts and to populate the currency picker.
