while reducing fees

2. • When selling in another country, sales are generated in a foreign currency.
• Amazon owes sellers revenue and if those sellers are not based in that country,
then the currency needs to be exchanged.
• What Amazon doesn’t tell you is that they take a percentage out of the
exchange rate. This fee is typically 3.75%!!
• What most sellers don’t know is you don’t have to use Amazon’s Currency
Converter Service (ACCS).

$600* using World First
compared to a typical bank
wire transfer. That’s $7,200
over a year.
There are alternatives to ACCS
• You could set up a physical bank account in that country.
But….
 Typically expensive
 Most accounts have to be opened in-person
 Most often have to register your business there
 Ongoing fees involved
• Have a company set up a receiving account designed to
bring Amazon revenue home in the country you are
selling in
 Much better rates of exchange
 You have full control over when you transfer
