## 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.

Funds that are available in your balance might not be available for instant currency conversion. For every currency balance, we show what funds are available for instant currency conversion.

## Limits

There are no limits on the monetary amount you can convert or the number of conversions per day for instant currency conversions in a [financial account](https://docs.stripe.com/financial-accounts.md).

In your payments balance, there’s a 50,000 USD equivalent conversion limit per day. Instant currency conversion doesn’t support funds that you add from top-ups. [Contact us](mailto:icc-feedback@stripe.com) if you require a higher conversion limit.

## Permitted Use and Reserved Rights

You can only use instant currency conversion in connection with your normal Stripe business, and can’t use the feature for any for-profit currency trading purposes. Additionally, Stripe reserves the right to add or remove instant currency conversion supported currencies at any time without notice.
