How do I manage my currencies in PayPal?
You can send and receive money in multiple currencies with PayPal.
In your Wallet, you can add a new currency, change your primary currency, close a currency, and more.
Here's how to add a new currency:
- Go to Wallet.
- Click Add a currency.
- Select the currency you want and click Add a currency.
Here's how to change your primary currency:
- Go to Wallet.
- Select the more option beside the currency you want to make primary.
- Click Make Primary.
Here's how to close a currency:
- Go to Wallet.
- Select the more option beside the currency you want to close.
- Click Close Currency.
If you receive a payment in a different currency, it’s automatically accepted in the currency received, and a new currency balance is opened in your PayPal account (excluding South Africa).
In South Africa, when someone sends you money in a currency that you haven’t opened, we’ll ask you to accept or deny the payment.
