Describe the problem you'd like to solve

As a foreigner who lives in London, who often travel, it's quite difficult to find the best deals at the moment nearby where I am. Although I found one, I often feel like there might have been a better place with better rate, but it takes time to compare different companies everytime. Not only for this case, but also when people receive a huge amount of money from their home. Based on my previous experience as a receptionist at hotel, many people from the US, they were looking for an exchange shop, however, they end up choosing just the nearest on. I feel like everyone has similar problem!

Who are the stakeholders?

Traveller, people who live in different countries from their home, someone who are on holiday at different country, exchange store, post office, hotel, travel agency ..

What is currently being done to solve this problem?

Each exchange store displays their best rate on their website or at the store, however, I don't think there is a platform/application that people can check easily for the best rate in one place nearby where they are.
