Amazon Currency Converter Exchange Rates
The exchange rate is used to determine the payment total in your local currency while placing your order.
When Amazon Currency Converter is enabled, the exchange rate is used to convert the order subtotal to your local currency. The exchange rate displayed at checkout may not match the rates published online or in other financial databases. Those exchange rates are generally inter-bank rates that are for wholesale amounts and aren't available to retail consumers. Amazon consistently works to negotiate competitive foreign exchange rates with our bank service provider. The exchange rates used for Amazon Currency Converter as well as the European Central Bank rates used for comparison purposes, are generally updated daily.
The exchange rate is inclusive of the exchange rate guarantee fee. This fee enables you to pay in your local currency and guarantees the exchange rate at the time of ordering. Amazon strives to maintain competitive fees and you always have the option in final checkout to disable Amazon Currency Converter to avoid this fee.
If you return an item, we use the same exchange rate to calculate your refund, including any fees.
- When using Amazon Currency Converter, your bank may still charge you a fee. Please contact your bank regarding these fees.
