How to use the Rate Calculator

Check live exchange rates and convert between currencies right on your dashboard.

The Rate Calculator on your Shiga dashboard lets you quickly check exchange rates and convert between currencies in real time. It's displayed on the right side of your dashboard homepage, so it's always within reach.

Step-by-step

  1. Select your source currency (From): click the currency dropdown (USDT, NGN, and more) and enter an amount.

  2. Select your target currency (To): click the dropdown and use the search bar to find a currency. Available options include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Euro (EUR), Pound (GBP), Naira (NGN), Cedi (GHS), USDT, and more.

  3. View your conversion: the converted amount appears automatically, with the current exchange rate and a timestamp showing when it was last updated.

  4. Swap currencies (optional): click Swap assets between the From and To fields to instantly reverse the pair.

Key features

  • Real-time rates that update regularly for accuracy.

  • Multiple currencies — convert between cryptocurrencies and fiat supported by Shiga.

  • Instant calculations as you type, with no calculate button to press.

Note: Rates shown are indicative and may vary slightly at the time of the actual transaction. Use the calculator for quick reference before making a transfer or swap.
