Automatic USD Payments Charged in SGD - How to Change That?

[dusty_jewels]

Hi,

I have a Singaporean account but want my debit cards to be charged in USD only. I have USD set as the main currency. I charge my cards in USD through Paypal easily enough when I'm making a manual transaction, but if I set up an automatic monthly USD subscription through Paypal, Paypal automatically changes it to SGD and charges me in SGD. I don't want that due to Paypal's high exchange rates.

How do I go about changing that to USD only?

Sites have mentioned that there was a "See currency options" for each card, but I can't locate this.

Hi @dusty_jewels 

Thank you for contacting PayPal. I understand you are concerned about the currency conversion on the subscription. It happens in 2 cases.
1. If the payment is made to a merchant who has different currency compared to your local currency.

2. The card from which the payment is made has the currency that is not same as recipient's currency.

To get better assistance, please contact PayPal Support.

Thank you.
