Do I have the same SWIFT Account Details for my Aspire USD Account if I already have an Aspire EUR/GBP Account?

Yes. If you're receiving a transfer from any of our supported currencies, you would need to set up your primary currency. This way, your FX transfer will be converted to your chosen primary currency and added to that account.

You may view some example scenarios below for clarity:

• Your main currency is EUR. When someone sends 100 AUD to your SWIFT account, it will be converted to EUR and deposited into your EUR Account. When someone sends 100 USD to your SWIFT account, it will be deposited into your USD Account without conversion.
• Your main currency is USD. When someone sends 100 AUD to your SWIFT account, it will be converted to USD and deposited into your USD Account. When someone sends 100 EUR to your SWIFT account, it will be deposited into your EUR Account without conversion.

How do I set my account's Primary Currency?

To set up the account's primary currency, Admin users must:

1. Click on USD Account under the My Accounts section on the homepage
2. Select "SWIFT account details" 
3. A pane will slide from the side. On the upper part of the pane, hit "click here" to update your primary currency
   
4. A new window will pop up. Select your choice for the primary currency, whether USD, EUR or GBP, then click "Update primary receiving currency"
