How Should a Business Select Currencies for International Receivables?

Select currencies for international receivables by aligning them with your customers' billing preferences, your settlement and conversion needs, and the currencies your financial institution actually supports. No single currency set works for every business, so treat this as an operational decision that depends on your account terms and jurisdiction.

The first filter is what your customers can pay easily. Invoicing in a customer's local currency can reduce friction and may improve payment speed, but it also creates currency exposure for you. If most of your buyers are in one region, concentrating receivables in that region's dominant currency may simplify collections. If your customer base is diverse, you may need to support several currencies. Confirm which currencies your account can receive before promising them to customers.

Receiving a currency is only useful if you can settle or convert it efficiently. Consider whether you need to hold funds in that currency for future payables, or convert to your home currency. DogPay is a digital finance and payment infrastructure platform, not the financial institution that provides a business account. Businesses may apply online for a US-dollar business account and Hong Kong or Singapore multi-currency business account options. The relevant financial institution provides and independently approves each account, and its opening documents determine account type, holder and terms. Actual currencies, payment rails and functions depend on the institution, account, product and jurisdiction.

Different currencies may be supported by different rails. For USD transfers, ACH, SWIFT or Fedwire may be available only where the relevant account and service arrangement support them. For other currencies, availability depends on the institution and jurisdiction. Ask your financial institution which rails apply to each currency you plan to receive, and whether incoming payments are supported for that currency and account type. Do not assume a rail is available without written confirmation.

Some businesses also evaluate stablecoin or crypto settlement for international receivables. USD and supported stablecoin conversion or settlement and crypto payment gateway services are provided by DogPay affiliates to eligible customers, subject to provider terms, applicable law and geographical availability. These services are separate from the business account provided by the financial institution. If you consider this route, confirm eligibility, supported assets, and legal treatment with the relevant service provider and your advisors.

Each added currency increases reconciliation complexity. After approval, available account features may include international collections, cross-border payments, currency management, transaction records, reconciliation and reporting. More currencies can mean more statements, more exchange-rate lines, and more work to match incoming payments to invoices. Choose the smallest set of currencies that meets customer and settlement needs, and confirm reporting capabilities with your institution.

Can I receive any currency my customers want to pay in?

No. You can only receive currencies that your specific account and financial institution support. Confirm the list with the institution before invoicing.

Does DogPay provide the business account itself?

No. DogPay is a digital finance and payment infrastructure platform, not the financial institution that provides a business account. The relevant financial institution provides and independently approves each account.

Are stablecoin settlement services part of the business account?

No. USD and supported stablecoin conversion or settlement and crypto payment gateway services are provided by DogPay affiliates to eligible customers, subject to provider terms, applicable law and geographical availability.

Is currency availability guaranteed?

No. No account approval, payment acceptance, fee, exchange rate, speed, coverage or business outcome is guaranteed. Availability depends on the institution, account, product and jurisdiction.
