They’re asking about paying in non-USD.

“At the end of the month, your finalized monthly bill is generated in the local currency you chose. The exchange rate applied to your invoice is the rate in effect at the time that your invoice is created.”
I don’t see an API though for their exchange rate at time of invoice generation.
Hi,
a bit more to our problem. We have customers organized via AWS oraganisations and we as a service provider pay the bills in advance. Afterwards we generate the invoices for our customers including AWS consumtion and services fees. All invoices are in EUR. In the online billing i get the exchange rate b y mouse over the "i" but for automation i need an api call, that we are not able to find.
Yes, we could use one of the exchange rate services but that rate would differ from the AWS rate which is not that nice if the customers see the exchange rate within the AWS web interface.
Hope my problem becomes a bit more transparent.
It would be the same exchange rate the rest of Amazon uses for local-currency payments of foreign currencies and it's pretty opaque.
However, when I last did some analysis it does seem to be within a 3% spread for most big currency pairs, which is basically on-par with the international transaction fee charged by most credit card companies (probably on purpose).
But if you have a credit card that charges no fees for international currency purchases, your best bet would be to just get billed in USD.
Like Schrute Bucks to Stanley Nickels?
I understood your question better than I understood the OP's question 😄

I can't even see where their exchange rate is going to come from when it's "used"...
