Why transact in foreign currencies?

Whether you’re entering one or multiple overseas markets, your choice of transaction currency has important implications. Learn why paying in U.S. dollars isn’t necessarily the best approach.

Why should I switch?

Using your home currency for your overseas business feels easy, but it simply moves the risk associated with currency transactions from you to your suppliers or customers. In return, they deduct it from what they pay you, or add it to what you pay them. Using local currencies helps avoid this and offers additional benefits.
