Dear Supply partner, 

GetYourGuide is transitioning to a new currency system starting February 1st, and in order to ensure continued payment, you must make some changes to your account. This guide is designed to assist you through the mandatory process of changing from ARS (Argentinean Peso) to USD (US Dollars).

Upon receiving your request, we will begin the currency change process. You will be notified within 48 hours that your products have been temporarily deactivated and the currency updated.
