FX Transactions refer to foreign exchange transactions or currency conversions. These transactions involve converting one currency into another at an agreed-upon exchange rate, allowing merchants and buyers to conduct international transactions in their preferred currencies. FX transactions allow you to convert funds between your enabled holding currencies, giving you the flexibility to:
  • Convert balances only when required
  • Optimize FX timing and rates
  • Support payouts in currencies different from collection currencies

Key Aspects of FX Transactions

  • Currency Conversion: FX transactions facilitate the conversion of funds from one currency to another, enabling cross-border payments and transactions.
  • Exchange Rate: The exchange rate is the rate at which one currency is exchanged for another. It may fluctuate in real-time based on market conditions.
  • Currency Pairs: In FX transactions, currencies are traded in pairs, such as USD/EUR (US Dollar/Euro) or USD/JPY (US Dollar/Japanese Yen).
