Currency, time zone and country: the settings you can't change

By the Answerbid teamVerified 12 October 20262 min read

Short answer

You choose country, currency and time zone when you create an Ads Manager account, and none of them can be changed afterwards. A wrong choice may mean opening a new account, so pick the currency you are billed in and the time zone your team reports in.

What each setting controls

SettingAffects
CurrencyBilling and the minimum daily budget (for example $25, £15, €15, 65 PLN)
Time zoneThe day and the Sunday–Saturday budget week; reporting dates
CountryWhich entity is billed; your home market for new-account limits

How to choose

  • Use the currency of the entity that pays the invoices
  • Use the time zone your sales team works in, so daily reports line up with CRM data
  • If you sell in several regions, you still need one billing entity per account; separate accounts are possible within limits

Questions
