You can choose any available currency from the dropdown list. Multicurrency balances will be automatically converted to the withdrawal currency.

The withdrawal commission is 30 EUR/ 30 USD/ 30 GBP, depending on the currency. In case of insufficient funds lest in the account, the commission will be deducted from the amount being withdrawn.
