An app that facilitates currency exchange can grow by increasing the value of their service for a specific type of user. One way to do this is by offering real-time notification and high levels of customer support. Currency exchange apps can also increase sales through targeted advertising, or they can partner with local businesses to generate new user referrals.

Currency exchange apps face legal and regulatory risks associated with the trading of virtual currencies. In the United States, currency exchange apps fall under the jurisdiction of FinCEN, which requires that businesses register as money service businesses and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Currency exchanges should be aware of their obligations to file suspicious activity reports and comply with all AML requirements.
