Dynamic Currency Conversion Service

Millions of people visit the U.S. each year, spending money on lodging, meals, entertainment and other travel related items. A large percentage of these tourists and business travelers would rather pay for these goods and services in their own currency—if they could. International travelers using credit cards have to wait for their monthly statement to find out how much U.S. transactions cost in their own currency. This is inconvenient and often a challenge for business people who keep track of expenses. It’s no wonder that many international visitors would prefer to know right away what the transaction will cost in their own currency, and retailers who can provide that service are in a position to win more business.

'If Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) is available in the selected foreign currency, both merchant and customer know precisely the amount of the sale, which means no more waiting or guessing at conversion rates or fees.

How Dynamic Currency Conversion Service Works

Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) is a foreign currency payment solution that recognizes foreign credit cards at the point-of-sale (POS) and offers customers the choice of paying in either the merchant's or the cardholder's currency, if available. If they choose the latter, DCC calculates and converts the payment and prints a record of the transaction in the selected foreign currency.
