Multi-Currency Payment Solutions

Content on multi-currency payment solutions (MCP) for high-risk merchants (iGaming/betting, FX/CFD, crypto/VASP, adult, nutraceuticals, travel). We cover:

  • MCP vs DCC: local price display and authorization in the shopper’s currency (MCP) vs acquirer-side conversion at checkout (DCC); scheme and consumer-transparency rules, and why MCP typically preserves approval rates better than cross-border + DCC.

  • FX & settlement models: shopper-currency auth with multi-currency settlement vs auto-conversion to base currency; rate sources, markups, hedging/volatility controls, NDFs for restricted currencies.

  • Routing & conversion uplift: BIN/issuer-country logic, domestic vs cross-border acquiring, smart routing/cascading by currency, price rounding and caching.

  • APMs & wallets: currency coverage/settlement nuances (SEPA/Open Banking, PIX/boletos, UPI, Alipay/WeChat, wallets), and fallback strategies when cards are restricted.

  • Subscriptions & refunds: currency lock vs re-price for renewals; partials and FX deltas on refunds/chargebacks; reconciliation, reports, and per-currency ledgers.

  • Compliance & UX: PSD2/SCA & 3DS2, price-display transparency, consumer-protection notes on currency conversion, sanctions/geo-controls, and PCI DSS scope.
