Hello,
Yes, as an Amazon seller, you have the option to collect payments in Euros and pay them into a Euro bank account. You don’t necessarily have to set up a new account specifically for this purpose, but you do need to ensure that your existing bank account supports Euro transactions.

Here’s what you can do:

  1. Check with your bank: Contact your current bank and inquire if they provide Euro bank accounts or if your existing account can handle Euro transactions. They will provide you with the necessary information and guide you on the process of receiving and managing Euro payments.
  2. Currency conversion: If your bank account doesn’t support Euros directly, you can still receive payments in Euros. Amazon will convert the Euros into your account’s default currency based on their exchange rate. However, keep in mind that currency conversion fees may apply, and the exchange rate may not be as favorable as with a Euro account.
  3. Setting up a Euro account: If your current bank doesn’t offer Euro accounts or you prefer to have a dedicated account for Euro transactions, you can explore opening a Euro bank account. This can be done through your existing bank or by considering other financial institutions that offer Euro accounts.

When setting up a Euro bank account, consider factors such as fees, exchange rates, ease of use, and any other requirements specific to your business needs. It’s advisable to research different banks or financial institutions, compare their offerings, and choose the one that best suits your requirements.

Remember to consult with a financial advisor or accountant who can provide personalized guidance based on your specific business circumstances. They can help you understand the implications and requirements of managing Euro transactions and guide you in making the right decision for your business.

I hope this clarifies your options for collecting payments in Euros and paying them into a Euro bank account. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to ask.
