ACH Currency Conversion

Edit online

You can configure currency conversion rates in one of three ways for Outbound Batch Entry Detail Level envelopes:

  • Hardcode it in the Batch Envelope.
  • Use a codelist
  • Use an application interface that you provide for one of two cross border entries, either CBR or PBR. There is no need to convert currencies unless the payment is crossing an international border.

When you select a method for ACH currency conversion, keep the following in mind:

  • Exchange rates are constantly changing
  • When using a batch or a codelist, you may be required to frequently change the envelope.
  • If you use the interface extension, you can supply the current exchange rate by modifying the file from the Sterling B2B Integrator at runtime. The same process that supplies the data to the CBR or PBR file could also supply this file with the current exchange rate in it.
