About Protected Currency Surcharges
Protected Currency Surcharges are tiered fees applied when an account topped up via the Standard Debit/Credit card method exceeds certain monthly deposit thresholds. The Standard method takes 3-5 business days for funds to settle and is offered at a lower base rate, with surcharges that scale with monthly volume to offset settlement and FX risk on protected local currencies.
- Surcharges apply only to Debit/Credit card topups using the Standard (3-5 day) method. Instant and other deposit methods are not subject to these tiers.
- Thresholds and charges shown in each tier are denominated in U.S. Dollars (USD), not the local currency equivalent.
- Tiers do not stack. Only the single charge for the tier your monthly volume falls into applies. The highest possible charge is the value shown in the last populated tier.
- Monthly volume is measured per calendar month, per account, across all Standard card topups in that country.
- Rates and tier values are pulled live from our settlement system and may be updated without notice.
