Customer experience matters
If European customers regularly pay your company, consider how simple the payment process is for them as well as the cost to your own business.
Holding versus converting euros
If your company has both EUR revenue and EUR expenses, holding some euro revenue for euro-denominated costs may reduce unnecessary conversions. Whether that is useful depends on your cash-management requirements and the provider terms.
