Which Currencies Can I Use for Meta Ads?

Meta lets you pay for ads in a long list of currencies, but no single list fits every case. The main list is for advertisers who pay by card, debit card, bank account or a manual method. PayPal, monthly invoicing and political ads each have their own. This entry is as checked on 2 Oct 2026. Meta says it adds currencies as it grows and cannot say when.

Which currencies are on Meta’s main list?

The main list includes, for example, the US dollar, euro, British pound, Indian rupee, Japanese yen, Brazilian real, Nigerian naira, Saudi riyal and South African rand. Open the page for your own currency.

Two notes on that page matter. Meta says that if your currency is not supported, you should check back, and that it cannot say when it will add more. It also says ad accounts with outstanding balances that are based in Russia, or that use the Russian ruble, have been disabled.

What do the Brazil and Venezuela notes mean?

Two currencies carry a footnote about what appears on your bank statement:

• Brazilian real (BRL): if you chose Brazil as your tax country and a currency other than BRL, Meta says the final charges are processed in BRL under Brazil’s foreign exchange regulations. Ads Manager still shows your selected currency.
• Venezuelan bolivar (VEF): if your account currency is VEF, charges are processed as US dollars on the bank statement, while Ads Manager shows VEF.

If you reconcile spend against a bank statement, expect the two to differ in those cases.

Do PayPal, monthly invoicing and political ads use different lists?

Yes.

• PayPal has its own list of accepted currencies. Meta notes the Brazilian real there is only available for Brazilian advertisers.
• Monthly invoicing supports only specific currencies, and Meta says you cannot change the currency once the ad account exists.
• Ads about social issues, elections or politics have a separate page that pairs each country with accepted currencies. For example, it lists the Argentine peso for Argentina and the US dollar for Albania. See the political ad authorization entry for the rest of those rules.

Can you change the currency later?

Meta says you can change the currency you use for Meta ads once every 60 days if you have no current balance. The catch is that choosing a new currency and time zone creates a new ad account. The old account is closed, its ads stop, and ads that already ran are billed in the old currency.

Meta also says that for some countries, such as Brazil, the business country and the currency must match. If you pick a country other than Brazil when you create the account, you cannot switch to Brazil later, and a currency other than BRL cannot be changed to BRL. So pick the currency before you create the account.

FAQ

Does my currency decide which payment methods I can use?

Yes. Meta says the payment methods available to you depend on the currency you choose. For example, its payment pages list Sofort for Austria only when the country is Austria and the currency is euro. Check the payment options entry for your country.

Is the amount I see in Ads Manager always the amount charged?

Not always. Meta documents two cases where it differs from the bank statement: Brazil, where charges are processed in Brazilian real, and Venezuela, where they are processed in US dollars. Open the currency page and read the footnotes if your account uses either.

Does my currency have to match my country?

For some countries, yes. Meta names Brazil as one where the ad account’s business country and currency must match. For other countries, open Meta’s help page for your country before you set up payment.
