That's actually no longer true - as of today for UK users, we can convert USD to GBP or EUR before transferring it to you. Just create the charge with a currency of "usd", and as long as you haven't manually setup a USD bank account (which you probably haven't), everything should just work.

At what rate? Most payment solutions we have dealt with can tack on a whole percent off market rate.

I got this response from Stripe about rates:

We use the live exchange rate at the time of the charge, and there's a 2% fee for currency conversion on top (compared to e.g. 2.5% from PayPal). You can how much you'll receive for each charge in GBP immediately afterwards.

I'd also be interested in understanding the rates you use - are they published anywhere?

When is that coming to users in the Irish beta?
