Currency Select

Based in Sydney (Australia), Currency Select enables partners in 21 countries to perform Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) and Multi-Currency Processing (MCP) transactions through ATMs, Point-Of-Sale (POS) payment terminals and e-Commerce channels. Originally founded in 2000, Currency Select has evolved to become one of the leading providers of DCC and MCP focussed solutions and services in Asia Pacific, Europe and beyond and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of www.globalblue.com. Our platform encompasses "end-to-end"​ card acceptance processing capability and direct interchange pathways to Visa, MasterCard, UnionPay and other card schemes in order to fulfill authorisation, clearing and settlement processing across a wide range of sectors. Currency Select has provided DCC-enabled merchant acquiring services to Australian merchants since 2004, including the direct acquiring of UnionPay transactions since 2013. As a result, we have become the leading provider to the hotel, accomodation and education sectors and have developed sector specific solutions such as a fully integrated payment solution involving Oracle's Opera Property Management System (PMS) and Simphony Food-and-Beverage point-of-sale (POS) systems. We've also provided specialised acquirer processing solution to acquirers leveraging our platform capability, industry expertise and operating experience. Our business is moving card payments between shoppers, merchants, acquirers and issuers both within and across borders. Our expertise is with the technology, ecosystems, operations and economics of card payments. Our offering is solutions and services to capture, authorise, clear, settle and report card transactions, safely and securely. With our own end-to-end transaction processing platform, direct interfaces to Visa, MasterCard and UnionPay and support for POS, e-Commerce and ATM acceptance channels, we are a compelling partner for merchants, PSPs, acquirers and card schemes.
