Here are three simple steps to launch your strategy:

​Step 1: Ask your supplier if they’re open to getting paid in their local currency

We have put together an email template you can send to your suppliers and cc our team (rmb@ebury.com) to help guide the conversation. 

Access the email template to share with your supplier/s ->

Step 2: Compare prices in your suppliers’ local currency vs the current prices

When you have both USD and local currency prices, please send them to us at rmb@ebury.com. We’ll help you review the numbers and look for savings. If the local currency price isn’t better right away, don’t worry. We can work with you and your supplier to find a solution that works for both sides.
