What currencies does Tabby accept?
We accept the local currencies of the countries we operate in. These are:

Cross-border transactions
It’s possible to use Tabby in any of these countries. However, using it in a country other than your own can subject your purchase to high exchange rates and additional fees, such as:
- Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC): Exchange rates can be inflated compared to the market’s base rate and additional fees may be applied.
- Foreign transaction fees: Your bank might charge a foreign transaction fee. This is typically a percentage of the transaction amount.
- Markups: Even if you opt for the merchant’s base exchange rate, they may still apply a markup, which will make your purchase more expensive.
