Russian Standard Bank Announce CORREAS Now Live with Planet Payment's Pay in Your Currency®

MOSCOW and LONG BEACH, N.Y., Oct. 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Russian Standard Bank (RSB), the second largest acquirer in Russia, and Planet Payment, Inc. PLPM, a leading international and multi-currency payment processor, today announced that Pay in Your Currency® (PYC), Planet Payment's Dynamic Currency Conversion solution, is now live at CORREAS in Moscow.

Pay in Your Currency®, which was the first dynamic currency conversion solution in this market, launched earlier this year. PYC provides eligible international customers with the choice to pay in Russian Rubles (RUB), or the currency they know best – their own. At CORREAS, patrons will now be given a quotation slip at the table, which presents them with the choice of RUB or their home currency. All the international patron has to do is make their selection on the slip, to indicate which currency they prefer to pay in.

Guest satisfaction is a top priority for this five star restaurant, world renowned for its fine dining. Offered as a customer service enhancement, PYC provides international customers with an added level of personalization when they pay their bill.

Additionally, with Pay in Your Currency, merchants can reduce processing costs on foreign transactions. CORREAS will continue to receive settlement and reporting in Russian Rubles, with no delay in funding.

"Planet Payment is thrilled that Pay in Your Currency is now available at one of the best restaurants in the region," said Jonathan Ellis, Managing Director, EMEA at Planet Payment. "We look forward to continuing our work with RSB to bring PYC to the rest of its merchants who cater to international customers."
