Local currency vs foreign currency

[Omar172]

At check out when I get 2 choices of either pay by local currency or foreign currency, and i choose to pay by local currency and PayPal adds 4% commission, do they charge in local currency or foreign currency? Coz for all i know my bank still told me that they charged me in foreign currency. Then why am i paying the 4% commission(

Hello @Omar172,

Great question! Here are a few Help Center articles regarding paying in different currencies and currency conversions you may find useful:

Where can I find PayPal's currency exchange rates?

How do I select a currency for my primary balance?

How do I transfer my balance to another currency?

I hope those articles help!!
