Exchange Rate on Purchase too low

Issue:
Hey,

I booked a Bolt taxi on Monday night and the exchange rate was off by a decimal place.

£1 should be around 400 HUF not 4000 HUF.

Details to reproduce:
OS: Android 10
Device: Pixel 2
App Version:
3.20.0
Screenshots:

That screenshot says over 40,000?

That looks a tad out compared to the MasterCard rate :man_facepalming:

Yikes, quick, buy lots of things from Estonia!!

New users can’t DM :see_no_evil:

@alessiopiergiacomi will need to DM you first

Or you could start an in app chat to report this exchange rate issue

Please wait I’m busy spending money in HUF

I tried to raise the issue on the app but after talking to 2 different people and being passed to a 3rd I thought it would be easier to raise here.

I don’t think the contact centre really understood that there was an issue.

I thought HUF was Hungarian Forints and that Estonia used the Euro? Bit odd this!

Maybe bolt office registered in Estonia? Wrong location…

Potentially OP is using Bolt, registered in Estonia, in Budapest or Debrecen, but that was a rather glaring detail left out!

spoiler: it didn’t :grimacing:, it is just a visual issue (showing the exchange rate adjustment rather than the full transaction amount). I think it’s also a transient bug and if the app were to reload the feed history again it would go away, but we’re still investigating it

Wait so all those iPhones I’ve bought on Hungary’s apple store didn’t actually cost me £13.39?
