A DCC transaction begins immediately after a credit card is swiped or key-entered. DCC-enabled software recognizes the currency of the cardholder’s home country. The customer is prompted for the currency in which he or she would like the transaction to be processed. When the currency has been identified and the customer has agreed to the transaction being processed, a foreign-exchange-conversion rate is applied to the transaction. The point of sale applies the rate to the transaction and automatically converts the USD amount to the foreign currency amount. A credit card receipt is generated displaying the USD amount, the foreign currency amount and the rate of exchange. The majority of all cardholders who are offered this choice opt to pay in their local currency. In addition, DCC reporting through Payment Insider enables you to track and manage your foreign transactions, respond to chargebacks and calculate the revenue your business generates from offering the program. Easy to implement, safe and secure, your DCC-enabled point-of-sale solution can also produce reports detailing both the U.S. and foreign currency transaction amounts to assist with tracking.
