# Selecting a Base Currency FAQ’s

**Selecting a Major Base Currency for a Processing Channel**  

Your chosen Major base currency will be the currency in which we will pay out in. In most cases this will simply be your local currency. Your channel’s base currency will also be the currency you view your transactions in, for example on your statements.   

However, your choice of channel base currency **does not restrict** where you can accept payments from in the world. For example, you can accept AED in Dubai, Timbuktu or Cusco!  

**Which currencies can I choose as a Channel’s Base Currency?**
