2CO provides a new multi currency service that enhances the online shopping experience for global customers. This service allows international customers to shop in a variety of currencies, in addition to USD, knowing the final charge of their purchase in their local currency.

Currently we offer customers the ability to pay in the following currencies:

• Australian Dollar (AUD)
• Canadian Dollar (CAD)
• Swiss Franc (CHF)
• Danish Krone (DKK)
• Euro (EUR)
• British Pound (GBP)
• Hong Kong Dollar (HKD)
• Japanese Yen (JPY)
• Norwegian Krone (NOK)
• New Zealand Dollar (NZD)
• Swedish Krona (SEK)
• U.S. Dollar (USD)

Displaying final prices in local currencies, permits your global customers to evaluate their purchases in a currency familiar to them, and significantly enhances their shopping experience. Once a purchase is made, prices are final and the transaction is protected from currency rate fluctuations or bankcard conversion fees.

Payments can be made in any of the available currencies, but preferably in the currency the customer’s credit card was issued in. When a customer pays in a currency different than the one their credit card was issued in, the currency exchange rate is determined by the credit card company. The final charge is exposed to currency rate fluctuations and conversion fees and is unknown to the customer until it appears on the credit card statement.

On the other hand - when taking advantage of our new multi currency service, the exchange rate is determined on the day of the purchase and is guaranteed until settlement, so customers will know the exact amount that will be charged to their credit card at the time of purchase.

Currently we offer customers the ability to pay in the following currencies:

Australian Dollar (AUD)
Canadian Dollar (CAD)
Swiss Franc (CHF)
Danish Krone (DKK)
Euro (EUR)
British Pound (GBP)
Hong Kong Dollar (HKD)
Japanese Yen (JPY)
Norwegian Krone (NOK)
New Zealand Dollar (NZD)
Swedish Krona (SEK)
U.S. Dollar (USD)

Comparing rates from different information sources such as newspapers or online news sites is misleading. Foreign exchange rates vary from source to source depending on their origin, update intervals and many other factors. More over, such rates are usually valid for indication purposes only.

A more applicable comparison is with currency exchange rates and fees used by credit card companies and Issuing banks which average from 2-8% over the standard Inter-bank rate. The prices available for customers through our service will be the same (or lower) than the price they would pay when purchasing in USD.

The important difference is that with our service global customers know the final price up front and are therefore much more inclined to complete the purchase.
