CardRat.es is expanding the tracked currencies for its comparisons. As a natural progression, more conversion options should be available to better help those with their foreign spending research.
With this in mind, the addition of new currencies will be prioritised by the overseas spending habits of Australians. The Australian Bureau of Statistics publishes data which indicates the number of ‘short trip’ overseas travellers and their respective destinations.

The respective currencies are ranked in the same order below:
- New Zealand Dollar (NZD) - already available
- Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)

- British Pound (GBP) - already available
- Chinese Yuan (CNY)
- Japanese Yen (JPY) - already available

Over the coming weeks, CardRat.es will be implementing the currencies listed to give better perspective on the value of currency conversions for those Australians making these trips.
