Tyro has teamed with Pure Commerce to introduce Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) to our merchants.
DCC gives your international customers the choice of paying in Australian dollars or their home currency.
The conversion rate is fixed at the time of the transaction, so your customers know exactly how much they are paying up front - no surprises on their credit card statement!
Click here to view the list of international currencies offered with DCC.
There is no cost to you for setting up DCC.
In fact, your business will earn extra revenue from the foreign exchange margins used to convert the amount to the cardholder's home currency.
YOU benefit, instead of the issuing bank.
DCC is planned to be available on all Tyro terminals in November 2008. Existing merchants need to fill out and fax a consent form.
Just call Tyro Support on 1300 966 639 to have this feature enabled.
Scheme rules expressly disallow acquirers from entering into agreements with merchants outside the acquirer's country of domicile. Tyro is an Australian acquirer that is authorised to serve Australian merchants.
Tyro's Australian merchants conducting business overseas can use the Tyro terminal to accept payment from a location outside of Australia in the normal conduct of their business. Tyro settles into the merchant's Australian bank account.
