### Taking payments from users outside of the UK
243+
244+
GOV.UK Pay only supports payments in British pounds (GBP), however users from outside of the UK can still make payments.
245+
246+
In this situation:
247+
248+
* the user’s bank will do a currency conversion into GBP if the payment card uses a foreign currency
249+
* the user’s bank may charge a conversion fee and give the user an unfavourable exchange rate
250+
* payments are more likely to be declined during fraud checks
251+
* your PSP may charge you additional transaction fees for cards issued outside the UK
