FAQ Entry #329

#329: If I pay the nomination fee with my own currency, will it be automatically converted to my currency? Will there be additional costs?

The amount will be automatically converted to your currency. In general it is possible and noted that many credit card providers will levy an exchange rate fee of up to 3%. Some credit cards however offer 0% on purchases, but you'll have to double-check with your bank. Even if there would be additional costs they should be trivial. Furthermore, unlike other competitions we do not add ourselves an extra credit card processing fee; when you pay with credit card, while we already pay about 3% to our virtual Point-Of-Sale (POS) provider bank, we do not reflect this on your transaction. If you wish to be sure, you can ask your bank if they take any fees on online transactions
