Rearrange Currency Settlement For Free

The dollar has been the world's principal reserve currency since the end of World War II and is the most widely used currency for international trade. High global demand for dollars allows the United States to borrow money at a lower cost and use currency as a tool of diplomacy, but that comes with drawbacks.

The transaction currency multiplied by the exchange rate will indicate the settlement currency amount for the transaction. Example: An order to buy 100,000 EUR. USD @ 1.353 has a settlement currency amount of USD 135,300 .

The United States dollar has been the world's primary reserve currency for over 60 years. Under the Bretton Woods system, the dollar was pegged to gold and most other currencies were pegged to the dollar. As a result of this arrangement, dollars were used as the main intervention currency and, hence, reserve currency.

What is the primary settlement currency? The primary settlement currency is the established currency of your merchant account. You'll receive payouts, reports and invoices in this currency. Suppose you have EUR set up as your primary settlement currency and your payout account is set for both EUR and GBP.

To enable alternative currency payouts, you must configure the currencies and bank accounts in your Dashboard. First, in your Payout Settings, you need to select the settlement currency you want to receive funds in using the Manage currencies button to start accumulating a balance in that currency.
