Supported currencies

Safepay supports processing payments in 7 currencies with support for more on the way, allowing you to charge customers in their native currency while receiving funds in your domestic currency. This is especially helpful if yo uhave a global presence, as charging in a customer's native currency can increase sales.

The currency used comes into play in three places:

• The customer's credit card currency
• The currency of the charge, called the presentment currency
• The currency in which you are settled in, called the settlement currency

If the charge currency differs from the customer’s credit card currency, the customer may be charged a foreign exchange fee by their credit card company. The customer may also be charged a fee by their credit card company if the credit card and your business are in different countries, regardless of the currency used.

If the charge currency differs from your settlement currency, Safepay converts the charge to your settlement currency.

Supported presentment currencies

Safepay users can process charges in the following list of currencies with these exceptions:

• Currencies marked with * are not supported by American Express
• These currencies apply to card payments: other payment methods are often tied to a specific currency

Minimum charge amounts

As Safepay's processing fee combines a small fixed amount and a percentage, we enforce a minimum amount when creating a charge.
