"}},{"componentType":"paragraph","title":"Which currency is the best deal?","richBody":{"value":"

You usually save money by making your payment in the currency of the country of destination. However, there are also exceptions outside the European Economic Area*.

"}},{"componentType":"paragraph","title":"Currency refused","richBody":{"value":"

Basically, payment orders are carried out in the currency indicated by you. An exception is if the foreign bank doesn't accept that currency.

"}},{"componentType":"paragraph","title":"Tip: avoid currency conversion","richBody":{"value":"

Sometimes the payment transaction can be quite expensive for the beneficiary. Such as when sending a payment to the USA in euros. We recommend sending those payments in dollars because, in the USA, the beneficiary will pay a lot for currency conversion.

* The European Economic Area currently comprises Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom.
