A supported currency is a currency a financial service or account permits for a specified action such as holding, receiving, converting or sending. Support for one action does not guarantee support for every action.
Which capabilities can differ by currency?
- Account balance or holding
- Local and international receiving
- Funding and conversion
- Domestic or cross-border payout
- Refund and return
- Availability by customer country
Why is a currency list insufficient?
A provider may display a currency for conversion but not offer local account details or third-party receipt. Limits, payer types and routes can also differ.
How should support be verified?
Check the exact customer entity, action, account type, route, amount, beneficiary country and current provider rules. Treat availability as time-sensitive.
What happens with an unsupported currency?
The payment may reject, convert automatically, route internationally or require a different account. Unplanned conversion can change the received amount.
What should the transaction record show?
Record funding, conversion, settlement and payout currencies separately, along with the rate, fees, route and expected recipient amount.
