Are settlement amounts for global projects affected by exchange rate fluctuations?

Settlement amounts for global projects are fixed in Korean Won (KRW), regardless of exchange rate fluctuations.

Therefore, you don't need to worry about exchange losses.

 

✅ Exchange rates only affect the time of supporter payment.

  • Overseas supporters are charged based on the exchange rate at the time of payment approval according to their card company.

  • This may cause a difference between the displayed amount and the actual card billing amount.

  • Therefore, we recommend including an explanation in the project details page for overseas supporters.

    • Example of explanatory text for overseas supporters

      "Payments from overseas supporters may fluctuate depending on the exchange rate of the card company, and the actual charged amount is determined based on the time of payment approval."

 

 

✅ Maker settlements are processed in Korean Won.

  • Supporter payments are converted to Korean Won at the real-time exchange rate through the PG company, and the maker is settled based on that Korean Won amount.

  • At the time of settlement, early payout/final payout is made based on the confirmed Korean Won amount, regardless of exchange rate fluctuations.
