DCC - Dynamic Currency Conversion

Service for International Customers

With Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), you offer your international customers a convenient service: they have the option to pay directly in their home currency.

You also benefit from an attractive rebate with every DCC transaction.

How It Works

Dynamic Currency Conversion is a service available on our terminals and means that the conversion into your customers’ home currency can take place immediately and at the current daily exchange rate.

A device with the DCC function automatically recognizes the currency of the credit card being used and offers DCC to the customer.

On the card display, your customers can choose whether they want to pay using Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) in their home currency, or without DCC in the local currency.

For you and your staff, the payment process remains as simple as ever. And thanks to settlement in the national currency (EUR), there is no additional effort required for your accounting.

How Can I Offer DCC?

If DCC is available, your terminal will automatically suggest it.

You don’t need to do anything else.

Is There a Fee for DCC Transactions?

A conversion fee applies. This is already included in the exchange rate and is borne solely by the credit card holder.

As a merchant, you do not incur any DCC conversion fees.

How Does a DCC Transaction Differ from One in Local Currency?

Payment in Card Currency (DCC Transaction)

Daily updated, competitive exchange rate and transparent fee display.

Payment in Local Currency (without DCC)

Exchange rate and fees are calculated by the card issuer after the transaction.

What Do I Gain as a Merchant from DCC Payments?

With this service, you offer your customers real added value. In addition, part of the conversion fee is returned to you as an attractive financial kickback: 1% revenue rebate!

This way, you secure additional income and can reduce your transaction costs!

The payout is always made in the local currency.
