What do I need to get started?

You need a US mobile number that is able to receive a text message, then link your tempo account to your US bank account.

Note that there’s only one bank account Tempo is interacting with at any time. This is your primary account. Your funds are coming from, and your withdrawal is going to your primary bank account. You can always change this setting in Side navigation’s Payment Methods item.

FAQ

How does Tempo work?

Tempo is a multi currency digital wallet based remittance service. This means that apart from allowing you to manage your funds from your smartphone, it also allows for international transfers.

It's easy to start: fund your Tempo wallet, and you’ll be able to make a conversion immediately. Buy and sell

– it’s that simple!

When you want to send money to your family/friends in a different country (Mexico, Italy, Germany, France, Canada, Philippines, Spain, UK, India, Poland, Hungary, Belgium, Czech Republic, Sweden, Portugal, Austria, and Australia ), with a couple of taps, the funds will be delivered to their local account seamlessly.

How do I send money abroad?

Tempo allows for two ways to transfer money internationally directly from your foreign currency and as a two-part transaction:

1. Directly from your foreign currency balance

When you convert USD to a foreign currency you can use the amount to pay out recipients based in countries using that specific currency.

2. Two-part transaction

If you didn’t convert the amount you want to send to a foreign currency you can still send directly from your USD balance. This will be a slightly longer transaction, in this case you would do it from the "Send" screen.

How do I cancel a transaction?

Tapping on your account icon from the Wallet screen will open side navigation. Tap on Activity, and tap on the transaction you want to cancel. You can cancel it from here by tapping Cancel transaction in the top right corner of your screen.
