Where to find currency settings on Mimu

Currency settings on Mimu are located in your account preferences, not in a separate payments or billing section. Open the Mimu app or website, tap or click your profile icon (usually in the top right corner), and select Settings. From there, look for Preferences or Regional Settings — the exact label depends on which version of Mimu you are using.

Once you are in that menu, you will see a Currency option. Mimu displays the currency you currently have selected, and tapping or clicking it opens a dropdown list of all supported currencies. The list is alphabetical and includes currency codes (like USD, GBP, EUR) alongside the full currency name.

If you do not see a currency option in your settings, your account may be restricted to a single currency based on your country or payment method. In that case, you may need to update your country or region setting first, which can unlock additional currency choices.

Key Takeaways

  • Currency settings are in your profile menu under Settings, then Preferences or Regional Settings.
  • Mimu shows all supported currencies in a dropdown list organized alphabetically by currency code.
  • Changing your currency takes effect immediately on your account, though existing transactions keep their original currency.
  • If currency options are locked, check whether your country or region setting needs to be updated first.
  • Some payment methods may restrict which currencies you can use, so verify your payment method supports your chosen currency.

What happens when you change your currency

When you select a new currency, Mimu converts all displayed prices and balances to that currency using the current exchange rate. This change takes effect immediately across your account — any new transactions, invoices, or statements will show in your new currency going forward.

Transactions you completed before the change remain in their original currency in your transaction history. Mimu does not retroactively convert past transactions, so if you paid in USD last month and switch to EUR today, that USD charge will still appear as USD in your records. This protects the accuracy of your financial history and tax records.

If you have a balance or credit on your Mimu account, it will be converted to your new currency at the current exchange rate. The conversion is automatic and happens the moment you save your new currency choice.

Supported currencies and regional restrictions

Mimu supports a wide range of currencies, but which ones you can choose depends on your country and payment method. The most commonly supported currencies include USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, JPY, and several others, but the full list varies by region.

Your country setting determines which currencies are available to you. If you registered your Mimu account with a US address, for example, you may see different currency options than someone registered in the UK or Canada. To see all currencies available in your region, open your Settings and check the Regional Settings or Country section.

Some payment methods — particularly credit cards and bank transfers — may only work with certain currencies. If you add a new payment method, Mimu may automatically suggest or restrict your currency choices based on that method's limitations. If you want to use a currency that your current payment method does not support, you may need to add a different payment method first.

Changing currency when your account is locked to one option

If you see only one currency in your dropdown or no currency option at all, your account is likely restricted based on your country, payment method, or account type. The most common reason is that your country setting does not match the currency you want to use.

To unlock more currency options, go to Settings, find your Country or Region setting, and verify it is correct. If you registered with the wrong country, update it to the country where you actually live or where your payment method is based. After you save the change, return to your Currency setting — you should now see additional options.

If updating your country does not unlock new currencies, the restriction may come from your payment method. Check your payment method details in Settings and confirm it supports the currency you want. If it does not, you can add a second payment method that does support that currency, which may unlock the option.

Troubleshooting currency change problems

If your currency change does not seem to take effect, try closing the Mimu app completely and reopening it. Sometimes the display does not refresh immediately, and a full restart of the app forces it to reload your settings. If you are using Mimu on the web, clear your browser cache or try a different browser.

If the currency dropdown is greyed out or unclickable, your account type or payment method may not support currency changes. Contact Mimu support through the app or website and describe which currency you want to use and which one you are currently locked to. They can tell you whether your account can be changed and what steps are needed.

If you changed your currency but old transactions still show in a different currency, that is normal — Mimu does not convert historical transactions. Only new charges and balances will appear in your new currency. If you need a record of a past transaction in a different currency, you can usually view the original currency amount in the transaction details.

How currency affects invoices and receipts

Any invoice or receipt Mimu generates after you change your currency will display in your new currency. If you send an invoice to a client or customer, it will show the amount in whatever currency you have selected at the time you create it.

If you change your currency again later, previously generated invoices do not change — they stay in the currency they were created in. This is intentional, because changing the currency on an old invoice could create confusion or accounting problems. If you need an invoice in a different currency, you can usually regenerate it or contact Mimu support to request a new version.

For tax and accounting purposes, keep records of which currency you were using during each period. If you switch currencies mid-year, your accountant or tax preparer will need to know when the switch happened to properly categorize your transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different currencies for different transactions?

No. Your Mimu account uses one currency at a time for all new transactions. If you need to work in multiple currencies, you would need to create separate Mimu accounts for each currency, though this may not be supported depending on your region. Contact Mimu support to ask whether multiple-currency accounts are an option for your use case.

Will changing my currency affect my payment method?

Changing your currency does not change your payment method itself, but your payment method must support the currency you choose. If your payment method does not work with your new currency, Mimu will notify you and may ask you to add a different payment method or switch back to a supported currency.

What exchange rate does Mimu use when converting my balance?

Mimu uses the current market exchange rate at the moment you change your currency. The exact rate varies slightly depending on when you make the change and which financial data source Mimu pulls from. For the most accurate rate, check Mimu's support documentation or contact their support team.

Can I change my currency back to what it was before?

Yes. You can change your currency as many times as you want by returning to Settings and selecting a different option from the dropdown. Each time you change it, your displayed balance and future transactions convert to the new currency using the current exchange rate.

Do I need to change my currency if I travel to a different country?

No. Your Mimu currency setting is separate from your location. You can travel anywhere and keep your account in the same currency. However, if you move permanently to a different country, you may want to update your Country setting in your account, which could unlock different currency options or affect which payment methods are available to you.
