Every ad account in Pace stays in its own billing currency. When a total adds up accounts that bill in different currencies, Pace converts each account at the daily ECB reference rate first, then adds them up. Converted figures carry a small ≈.
Each account keeps its own currency
An account's currency comes from the ad platform when you connect it, and you can only change it there. Everything on an account's own pages uses that currency: spend, budgets, the campaign and keyword tables, goal badges and the change log. Budgets you set in Pace are always in the account's currency too, so a CZK account is budgeted in CZK.
Alerts, emails and Slack messages also show each account in its own currency. Nothing is converted there.
Choose a display currency
Your workspace's display currency decides what the totals on Home are shown in. It's set on the Workspace card under Settings → General.
- Open Settings and stay on the General tab.
- On the Workspace card, open Display currency and pick a currency. It saves straight away.
- To go back to the default, click Use automatic.
By default the display currency is Automatic: the currency most of your accounts bill in, as long as the ECB publishes a rate for it. The card shows which currency that is. The list only offers currencies Pace can convert. Accounts you already use come first under Your accounts.
Permissions required: Only the workspace owner can change the display currency. Everyone else sees the current setting on the same card.
Where Pace converts
| Where | Converted into |
|---|---|
| Home: the Spend card, the performance chart and Top Performers | Your display currency |
| Portfolios: the list, the toolbar, overview tiles, the chart, blended table totals and CSV totals | The portfolio's own currency |
| Portfolio and executive reports | The portfolio's own currency |
| Managed-spend meter on Billing, account settings and Bulk Budgets | US dollars |
Rows for a single account inside those views, such as a line in a portfolio's campaign table, stay in that account's currency. Only the totals are converted.
The ≈ marker
A converted figure starts with ≈, for example ≈ €12,480. Hover it to see the ECB reference date Pace used, such as "Converted to EUR at the ECB reference rate for 22 Sep 2026." A total that needed no conversion, because every account in it already bills in the target currency, shows no marker.
In portfolio and executive reports, the KPI page carries a short footnote with the same information.
Where the rates come from
Pace uses the European Central Bank's daily reference rates. The ECB publishes them once each working day, and Pace picks them up once a day after that. If a day's rates can't be fetched, Pace keeps using the most recent ones, and the date in the tooltip tells you which day they're from.
Every date range converts at the latest rate, including past months. The figures are a guide for comparing accounts. They won't match your bank's exchange rate or your platform invoices exactly.
Currencies Pace can't convert
The ECB publishes rates for around 30 major currencies. An account whose currency isn't one of them is left out of converted totals rather than added at face value. An account with no currency on record is left out the same way (plan limits are the one exception, see below). The ≈ tooltip names what was left out, for example "Not included: 1 account in VND. The ECB publishes no rate for them."
Those accounts still show their own figures in full on their own pages, and pacing works on them as normal.
Plan limits are counted in US dollars
Your plan's managed-spend limit is set in US dollars, so Pace converts budgets in other currencies to USD at the daily ECB rate before comparing them with it. The meter on Settings → Billing shows the converted total with ≈. A budget in a currency the ECB doesn't publish isn't counted towards the limit, and the note under the meter says so. A budget with no currency on record is counted as US dollars at face value. See how managed spend is counted for the plan limits themselves.
Limitations
- The 30-day spend and goal trend lines on the Portfolios page aren't converted yet. A portfolio with accounts in several currencies draws its line from their native figures.
- Sorting portfolios by spend compares each portfolio's total in its own currency.
