Identify each currency

Record the funding currency, account currency and withdrawal currency. If conversion happens twice, two spreads may apply. A balance displayed in dollars also needs a clear currency code: AUD, USD and CAD are not interchangeable.

Ask which rate applies

The contract may refer to a processor's rate, a daily reference rate or the rate when a payment is processed. These are different rules. A later exchange-rate change can alter an amount without changing the original promotional percentage.

Compare like with like

Keep the original amount beside a converted illustration and give the date and rate used. Do not present a converted headline as an exact future entitlement. The actual payment policy takes precedence over a calculation made for an article.
