WHY WE USE US DOLLARS (USD)
Major advertising platforms such as Google and YouTube use US Dollars or other foreign currencies for billing. Advertising costs can therefore be affected by:
- Exchange-rate fluctuations
- Platform billing requirements
- International payment processing
- Bank and payment-provider conversion rates
- Changes in the value of local currencies
- Foreign-currency transaction charges
Quoting advertising budgets directly in local currency may result in a difference between the amount paid and the advertising funds ultimately available on the platform.
Using USD as the advertising-budget reference helps ensure that the agreed campaign budget is accurately funded.
