At Hula Global, we work with brands across multiple geographies and understand the importance of flexible and accessible payment options. To support international transactions while maintaining regulatory compliance, we accept payments in a wide range of currencies through our authorized payment systems.
This section of blog outlines the currencies accepted by Hula Global, explains how currency preferences are determined, and clarifies how local and international payments are handled.
Overview of Accepted Currencies
Hula Global partners with a trusted online payment service provider that enables us to accept over 93 globally recognized currencies. This allows brands from most parts of the world to make payments in their preferred or locally supported currency, subject to payment gateway availability.
In addition to global payment acceptance, Hula Global operates through legal entities in both India and the United States. As a result, when working with brands based in these countries, we are required to accept and prioritise payments in local currency.
Our Currency acceptance framework is designed to balance:
Convenience for international clients
Compliance with local financial regulations
Clarity and consistency in billing and reconciliation
Payments From the United States
Preferred Currency: United States Dollars (USD)
For clients and brands based in the United States, Hula Global prefers payments in United States Dollars (USD).
As we maintain a legal entity in the United States, payments received from US-based clients must align with local regulatory and accounting requirements. Invoicing and payment settlements in USD ensures:
Compliance with domestic financial regulations
Simplified accounting and reconciliation
Reduced exposure to currency conversion fluctuations
While our online payment partner may technically support multiple currencies, USD remains the preferred and standard currency for all US-based clients.
Payments From India
Preferred Currency: Indian Rupee (INR)
For brands operating from or registered in India, Hula Global prefers payments in Indian Rupee (INR).
Due to our legal entity presence in India, accepting payments in INR is necessary to meet local tax, banking, and compliance obligations. INR payment offer:
Compatibility with the domestic banking system.
Ease of settlement and reporting.
Alignment with Indian financial regulations.
All charges, including product development, sampling, production, and services, are billed and settled in INR for Indian clients unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Payments From the Rest of the World
Accepted Currency: Multiple International Currencies ( via Online Payment Partner)
For brands based outside India and the United States, Hula Global accepts payments in over 93 internationally accepted currencies through our online payment partner.
This enables global clients to:
Make payments in locally supported currencies.
Avoid unnecessary banking complexity.
Reduce dependency on mutual wire transfers for smaller payments.
Despite this flexibility, invoices for international clients are typically issued in USD, which is widely used as a standard currency for cross-border trade. Payments made in other supported currencies are processed through the payment gateway based on the prevailing conversion mechanism.
How Currency Selection Works
Currency acceptance is determined by:
The client’s primary operating or registered location.
Applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
The payment methods being used (online payment or wire transfer).
For India and the US-based clients, local currency acceptance is mandatory. For all other regions, clients may use supported international currencies through the online payment platform, subject to gateway availability.
Currency Conversion and Fees
Hula Global does not control the exchange rates applied by payment gateways or banks. Any currency conversion:
Is processed by the payment partner or financial institutions.
May involve conversion fees or charges.
Is borne by the client.
The amount credited by Hula Global is based on the net amount received after gateway or bank deductions.
Payment Alignment with Invoicing
Clients are strongly encouraged to ensure that payments align with the currency stated on the invoice.
For example:
INR invoices should be settled in INR
USD invoices should be settled in USD
Payments made in a different currency may result in reconciliation delays or short settlements due to conversion differences.
Important Considerations
Availability of certain currencies may depend on the payment gateway.
Large-value payments may require wire transfers regardless of currency.
Currency preferences cannot override local legal requirements.
Any exceptions must be approved in advance.
Clients unsure about the applicable payment currency are advised to consult their account manager before initiating payment.
Summary
Hula Global accepts 93+ international currencies via its online payment partner.
US-based clients should pay in USD.
India-based clients should pay in INR.
International clients may pay in supported currencies, though invoices are generally issued in USD.
Currency acceptance follows legal, regulatory, and operational requirements.
Conclusion
Hula Global’s currency acceptance framework is designed to support international business while ensuring regulatory compliance and financial clarity. By combining global payment flexibility with local currency requirements for India and the United States, we aim to offer a seamless and transparent payment experience for brands worldwide.
Clients are encouraged to review the policy carefully and seek clarification when needed to ensure smooth and timely payments.
