How can DCC boost your business?

Dynamic Currency Conversion handles exchange-rate calculations for over 80 currencies automatically. It makes payments easier to understand for international customers paying with Visa, Mastercard or Diners Club – which means fewer pesky chargebacks for you. Plus, your business gets a rebate for each DCC transaction.

It’s quick and easy to set up, with no technical knowledge required. And you can rest easy, knowing your DCC sales are protected with the latest security technology.

How does DCC work?

DCC-Identify

Identify

When an international customer pays by card, online or in-person, DCC automatically detects their home currency. You can offer them the choice of paying in local currency or in their own.

DCC-Inform

Inform

Your customer can see the transaction amount in both currencies, along with the exchange rate and commission charge. They pick their preferred currency and you proceed to payment.

DCC-Lock in

Lock in

Once you make the sale, your customer’s receipt displays the price they paid in their home currency – making it easier for them to recognise the sale on their card statement and less likely to raise a chargeback.
