Hi @TonyDuke,

 

Thank you for joining the Community Q&A! I'm afraid the list you request does not exist, but if you click the flag in the lower-right corner of the page, you can view the localized site for the countries that we support, and see whether or not that feature is offered on the main page for the given country.

 

I hope this helps!

Hi @TonyDuke,

 

If you visit the main PayPal page of the country that you're interested in reviewing, you will see if a Business account is an available feature in that country. You can reach the main page of any country by clicking the flag at the bottom right corner of PayPal.com and selecting the country that you want to review.

Hi @TonyDuke,

 

Great question!

 

The exchange rate is determined twice a day, and is applied when you set up a currency conversion in your account. You will be able to see the rate being applied, and accept it to continue the conversion, or cancel the conversion.

 

I hope this helps!

Thank you for your answer!  Can I know exchange rate without initiating a transaction? Is it available online?

Hi @TonyDuke,

 

That information is not posted anywhere as it is not a static rate. The only way to see it is to begin to set up a transaction, which you can opt not to complete.
