Overview

Amazon pays sellers through disbursements deposited into their bank accounts, but the currency and location of that bank account determine how those funds are delivered. This reference covers every country and region Amazon supports for disbursements, the corresponding local currencies used, and the special cross-currency options available to qualifying sellers. Understanding these rules is essential for international sellers managing payouts across multiple Amazon marketplaces.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Local currency rule — Disbursements are made in the local currency of the country or region where your bank account is located. Even if your bank can accept multiple currencies, Amazon will pay in the local one by default.
• Cross-currency option for Hong Kong — Sellers with bank accounts in Hong Kong can choose to receive proceeds from Amazon.com in either Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) or US Dollars (USD), provided they meet the eligibility threshold.
• Eligibility threshold for cross-currency — To qualify for the Hong Kong USD disbursement option, sellers must have cross-currency net proceeds of at least USD 100,000 during the trailing 12 months across all Amazon stores.
• Eurozone consolidation — All countries within the Eurozone share EUR as the disbursement currency. This includes major markets like Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and others.
• Wide global coverage — Amazon supports disbursements to bank accounts in over 40 countries and regions, spanning currencies from AED to TWD and TRY.

Supported Currencies by Country and Region

Amazon's disbursement network covers a broad range of countries and currencies. The Eurozone countries — including Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain — all receive disbursements in EUR. The United Kingdom receives disbursements in GBP, and the United States receives payouts in USD. Beyond these core marketplaces, Amazon supports dozens of additional countries, each receiving funds in their respective local currency.
