Overview

Amazon Currency Converter for Sellers (ACCS) is an optional service that allows sellers operating on international Amazon marketplaces to receive their disbursements in their local currency. Rather than requiring sellers to maintain foreign bank accounts in every country where they sell, ACCS converts proceeds from marketplaces like Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, or Amazon.co.jp into the seller's home currency and deposits funds directly into their domestic bank account.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Opt-in service — ACCS is not mandatory. Sellers can choose to use it for convenience or set up local bank accounts in each marketplace's currency to avoid conversion fees altogether.
• Automatic conversion — Once enabled, ACCS automatically converts your marketplace proceeds at the time of disbursement, so funds arrive in your local currency without any manual steps.
• Exchange rate includes a spread — Amazon applies a margin on top of the base exchange rate when converting currencies. This spread is how Amazon covers the cost of the service and is typically visible in Seller Central before you opt in.
• No separate enrollment fees — There is no subscription or sign-up fee for ACCS. The cost is built into the exchange rate applied during conversion.
• Supported across major marketplaces — ACCS is available to sellers operating on most Amazon international stores, including those in Europe, Japan, Australia, and other regions where the marketplace currency differs from the seller's bank currency.
• Funds deposited to your existing bank account — You do not need to open a new account. ACCS deposits converted funds into the bank account already on file in your Seller Central settings.

How ACCS Works

When a seller enables ACCS through their Seller Central account settings, Amazon's banking service providers handle the currency conversion at the point of disbursement. Each time Amazon processes a payment to the seller, the proceeds earned in the foreign marketplace currency are converted into the seller's local bank account currency. The exchange rate used includes a small percentage spread above the wholesale interbank rate, and sellers can review the applicable rate within Seller Central before each disbursement. The converted amount is then deposited directly into the seller's designated bank account, typically following the same disbursement schedule as standard payments.
