Yes, but only for contributors on US Fotolia...

For EU FT contributors 1credit=1�

I still think it's a great injustice ...

I'm in Africa. Any way to change my dollar payments to euro?

They apparently won't let you.  It costs them about 34% more to have euro submitters, so there isn't much motivation for them to switch you to being a Euro paid photographer.  I am in Europe as well but get paid in USD, so when I get paid $1,000 my neighbor who is getting paid in euro's would get $1338

Hm how can you do that? And why in the first place? 

Just been browsing the various country sites of FT and for buyers it seems like the FT credits have been re-adjusted to $1 values in the various currencies. A credit for a UK buyer is 63 pence and for a Eurozone buyer it is �0.75.

In light of this discovery, I don't see how FT can be paying a percentage (depending on rank/exclusivity etc) of �1.00 credit to the contributor....likewise how can they pay UK contributors the old 75 pence per credit earned if they are selling credits at 63 pence...........I have a sneaky suspicion that we will be informed of these pricing changes after the fact, at sometime in the future.
