Hi, it seems whenever you want to invest in pies, it needs to be done via your primary currency account. Why can’t this be done using other currencies to avoid exchange fees?
Agreed. This would be a big improvement.
It dampens the use case for pies in the meantime.
Welcome to the Community, and thanks for the feedback, @SirDMG
We’re yet to introduce multi-currency support for Pies, but I’ll let you know once the feature gets linked to the Pies.
In the meantime, a workaround would be to purchase shares in a preferred currency and then import them to a Pie, as well as export them at a later stage to sell them in the currency you’d like.
Is there any update, it would be really useful if it was implemented.
There aren’t any updates at the moment. When adding or taking out funds from your pies, you have to use your primary currency balance, and currency conversions are charged at our standard FX fee of 0.15%. This includes any dividend reinvestments, which will again be processed in your primary currency.
