Being able to accept and process international currencies at your golf course will create a customer experience like none other. Golf courses are a great way to celebrate a special occasion, have an easy Sunday with your friends or family, entertain a client or maybe just to enjoy some food and drinks with a spectacular scenic view.

Whatever the case may be, golf courses alike are a fantastic way to attract customers from all around the world, and being able to accept international currencies will not only continue to attract international customers, but it will also drive revenue. 

Reduce Chargebacks

Accepting international currencies will not only set you apart from the herd, but it will also protect you from costly chargebacks that come directly out of your bottom line. When a customer wants to pay with a foreign card, being able to provide a print out that shows them exactly what they are being charged in their home currency will provide consistency with their credit card statement, as what they see on their receipt, will show up on their credit card statement. Not only will this provide the customer with confidence that the charges are the same without having to calculate or speculate, but it will also prevent him from disputing that specific charge, reducing the percentage of annual chargebacks that you receive, and leaving more money in your pocket.

Customer Loyalty

Being able to accept international currencies gives your international customers the choice to pay in their home currency, while you settle in Canadian dollars. Not only is this a great way to attract international customers, but it is also a great way to increase your customer loyalty. International customers that know they can pay in their home currency will keep them coming back to experience all that your golf course has to offer. Not only does accepting international currencies keep your current international customers, but those customers are more likely to recommend your golf course to their friends or colleagues increasing revenue throughout the season.

Customer Experience

When a customer arrives at your golf course, great customer service is what will continuously set you apart from your competition. With the ability to accept international currencies, international customers will not only have the opportunity to pay in their home currency, making them feel comfortable and at ease, but knowing exactly how much they are spending in their home currency will typically increase the size of their purchase.
