Moneris said that the overseas travelers, while using their Visa or MasterCard in a terminal, will be able to see cost of the purchase instantly in their own currency. They cardholders can choose to pay either in their own currency or in Canadian dollars.

Moneris DCC can be easily integrated to existing terminals and provides merchants the ability to process payments, in a customer’s favorite currency at an exchange rate displayed on the terminal. Thus, the merchants will be able to offer clear pricing to the customer.

Ideal for businesses processing a high volume of foreign transactions, the program can enable merchants improve their bottom line, while offering better customer service and flexibility when dealing with global travelers, according to Moneris.

Moneris chief product and marketing officer Rob Cameron said: "Many visitors to Canada, particularly from the US, don’t realize how much more affordable things are here due to the favourable exchange rate. When they see the cost of items displayed in their own currency on the terminal, they tend to spend more.
