In a flow described as Separate Charges and Transfers, currency is determined by which account's country?

• A. The connected account
• B. The platform account
• C. The customer
• D. The merchant

Answer: (B)

In Separate Charges and Transfers, the platform handles the charge itself, not the connected account. Because the platform is the entity taking the payment, the currency used for the charge follows the platform account’s country settings. So the charge currency is determined by the platform’s country, not the connected account or the customer. This matters because the platform’s country defines which currencies you can bill in and which payment methods are supported for that flow. If the platform is set up in USD, charges will be in USD, regardless of the customer’s location.
