Best Expense Tracker for Expats

Moving abroad is exciting. Managing money abroad? Often overwhelming. Between new currencies, different costs of living, and keeping track of it all—expats need a simple solution.

The Expat Finance Challenge

When you live abroad, money gets complicated:

• Daily spending in a foreign currency
• Income possibly in yet another currency
• Remittances to family back home
• Fluctuating exchange rates affecting everything
• Most finance apps don't work internationally

Why Pocket Clear Works for Expats

1. No Bank Linking Required

Most expense apps need to connect to your bank. Problem: international banks often don't connect, or you don't want to share those credentials. Pocket Clear works without any bank access.

2. Secondary Currency Display

Set your primary currency (where you live) and secondary currency (home country). Every amount shows in both:

• Rent: $2,000 USD ≈ ₹1,66,000 INR
• Groceries: €150 EUR ≈ $163 USD

Finally understand what you're really spending.

3. Works Offline

No internet? No problem. Log expenses anywhere—on the plane, in areas with spotty connection, or when you're saving mobile data. Syncs when you're back online.

4. Global Currency Support

50+ currencies supported. From USD to INR to SGD to AED—whatever combination you need.

Expat-Specific Use Cases
