Dynamic Currency Conversion
Do you deal with a customers who want to use cards issued overseas? Is your business located in an area popular with tourists or business travelers?
If you want to let your customers pay in their own currency but don't want the complexity of pricing your goods and services in multiple currencies, Dynamic Currency Conversion is the answer.
It converts your prices into the customer's chosen currency at your point of sale, making it easier for your customers to do business with you.
You can then accept a customer’s overseas-issued Visa or MasterCard and also show them the cost of their purchase in sterling and their own currency, plus the exchange rate that has been used. They can choose which currency they prefer to pay in.
