## Available balances for instant currency conversion

Instant currency conversion works with available balances. You can change from daily automatic payouts to manual payouts to make sure funds are available for instant currency conversion. If you want to keep your daily payout schedule, consider [setting a minimum balance](https://docs.stripe.com/payouts/minimum-balances-for-automatic-payouts.md) on your [Payout settings](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payouts) page to make sure you have available funds for instant currency conversion.

## Limits

You can convert funds up to a daily limit, shown in the [supported currencies table](https://docs.stripe.com/instant-currency-conversion.md#supported-currencies-and-pricing). The limit depends on whether you convert funds in your payment balance or in your [financial account](https://docs.stripe.com/treasury.md). Some available funds (for example, funds from non-payment sources) might be ineligible to convert. Stripe shows which funds are available for instant conversion in each currency balance. [Contact us](mailto:icc-feedback@stripe.com) if you need a higher conversion limit.
