You should be able to get a USD bank account in AU, then receive your payments from stripe without any conversion.

As far as I know that isn't an option either.

Stripe only pays out in the same currency of the country the account is setup in. Rumours are this is changing, if anyone from Stripe reads this and is looking for beta testers please get in touch (contact details in profile)

I think this depends on the country your account is setup in. Some countries allows you to have bank accounts in alternative currencies:

That list is a bit misleading. In most countries, you can add a bank account in USD, but that bank account must be in the US.

I'm pretty sure we're being paid in USD to a USD account based in Australia with Stripe payments for FastMail.

(we also use Paypal and a couple of other providers - spreading billing between multiple providers is a good thing)

No, Stripe doesn't support this unfortunately. Pin does though (an Australian Stripe competitor).

I'm sorry but why do you think you know more about this guys' experience than him? This is like when I'd get calls from a delivery driver telling me I didn't know my own address... Plenty of companies will do custom setups for big clients.

nmjenkins and brongondwana are both directors of FastMail.
