2. Problem Description
___2.1 Background
There has been discussion for some time in the Mojaloop community about how to manage currency conversion as part of funds transfers. A version of this has been implemented by Mowali, but this has operational drawbacks which have prompted a search for a simpler and more robust alternative. Following discussions with interested parties, an initial statement of a proposed solution has been created and is attached to this document.
This solution (like any solution to the problem of currency conversion) will require some changes to the FSPIOP API, and these are described in Section 6.1 of the attached document. It is proposed that the required changes should be non-breaking, but this is a matter for review.
2.2 Current Behaviour
The API does not support currency conversion at present.
Explain how you would like the API to behave.
