How do I manage my currencies in PayPal?

You can send and receive payments 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:

  1. Go to Wallet
  2. Click Add a currency
  3. Select the currency you want and click Add a currency

Here's how to change your primary currency:

  1. Go to Wallet
  2. Select the more option beside the currency you want to make primary. 
  3. Click Make Primary.

Here's how to close a currency:

  1. Go to Wallet
  2. Select the more option beside the currency you want to close. 
  3. Click Close Currency

When someone sends you a payment in a currency that you haven’t opened, we’ll ask you to accept or deny the payment.

When someone sends you a payment in a currency that you’ve opened, we automatically add it to the relevant balance.
