Setting up currency and time zone in Google AdWords

When you assemble  your Awards account, you'll be asked to pick a currency type and your time zone. You'll only be able to change your time zone once, so choose these settings carefully. They're used to determine how you're billed.

Choosing your currency

You should select the currency that you want to use to pay your advertising costs. In addition, your choice of currency can affect your choices for paying your bills. For example, if you select Euros as your currency, you'll only be able to pay in Euros and you might not be able to use certain credit cards.

Choosing your account time zone

Your reports, statistics, and billing are all affected by the time zone you select. For example, settings such as your daily budget run on a 24-hour schedule. With more than 200 time zones to choose from, an AdWords account can be set for most of the world's standard time zones. We recommend you select your local time zone so your budget cycle ends when your day ends.

All time zones must be in full hour or half-hour increments relative to Greenwich Mean Time. If your local time zone is one of the few offset a quarter-hour from GMT, the AdWords system can't support your time zone. Please choose a different time zone for your account. Time zone selection affects only the administration of your account. Your selection doesn't affect the locations where your ad may show.
