# Statements paid in another currency

Some stores and partners pay us in a currency other than US dollars, such as euros. Until that payment arrives and is converted, your share from that statement shows as **Pending** on the Money page. It's an estimate, and it becomes part of your available balance once the payment clears.

## Where you'll see it

On the **Money** page, a **Pending** amount appears under your **Current Balance**:

> Estimated from a statement paid in a foreign currency, updated as exchange rates move. It becomes available once the payment clears and the final rate is locked in.

## What happens next

1. **The statement arrives** in the other currency. We calculate your share and convert it to US dollars at the current exchange rate. This estimate is your **Pending** amount.
2. **The estimate can move** a little as exchange rates change.
3. **The payment clears.** We finalize the statement using the US dollar amount we actually received.
4. **Your share becomes available** at the final amount and is included in your next payout.

The final amount can be slightly higher or lower than the estimate.

## Pending money isn't paid out yet

Only your **Available** balance is included in payouts. A pending amount doesn't count toward the $50 minimum until it becomes available.

## On your statement

When you download your statement, pending earnings appear in the **Summary** sheet as **Pending (estimate, awaiting payment)**, and the lines have the status **Pending (estimate)**. Everything on the statement is shown in US dollars.

## Common questions

### How long does a pending amount take to become available?
It depends on when the payment reaches us. It becomes available as soon as the statement is finalized.

### Why did my pending amount change?
The estimate follows the exchange rate until the payment clears.

### I'm paid into a bank account in another currency. Is that the same thing?
No. That's about how your payout is deposited, not how a statement was paid to us. We pay in US dollars, and the amount is converted into your bank's currency when it's deposited. See *Set up payouts*.
