Cross Currency Transactions
Cross currency transactions let you convert a foreign currency you already have into a different currency, after converting it temporarily into yen. For example, you might convert Euros to US dollars, or Australian dollars to British pounds.
For PRESTIA DIGITAL GOLD/PRESTIA GOLD/PRESTIA GOLD PREMIUM customers, we offer discounts on foreign exchange commissions for cross currency transactions. Specifically, exchange commissions when converting foreign currency to yen will be free while the commissions when converting yen to foreign currency, included in the TTS rate, will be discounted by 70%.
Ex. Exchange from Euros to British pounds
- For a cross currency transaction involving 1 million yen or more equivalent, foreign exchange commissions for converting a foreign currency held to yen will be free and the exchange commissions for converting yen to a different currency will be 1 yen per unit of the currency at the highest (e.g. USD).
- Please keep in mind that this preferential treatment as it applies to foreign exchange does not apply when conducting the exchange from foreign currency to yen and then from yen to foreign currency at separate times.
- The discount on foreign exchange commission for cross currency transaction is rounded down to two decimal place. Therefore, the discount rate might be less than 70% depending on the currency.
