Hi Neil, The currency of the account is set when the account is created and cannot be changed afterwards. I haven't been able to find a clear please in the web interface that displays the currency of the account, but I looked into your specific account and it is indeed in GBP. It looks like the TES currently isn't respecting the currency of the account and is always using USD. I've been able to replicate the issue and I'll work with the core engineering team to resolve it. At this time I don't have any estimates as to when that work will be complete.
