Markets and currencies

JOLT Ads runs in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Each market has its own screens, its own rate card and its own currency, and nothing is converted.

The five markets

Coverage changes as the network grows. The planner always shows the live screen count inside your chosen area, and the Locations pages list current coverage by city.

One currency per campaign

A campaign is priced, forecast and invoiced in the currency of the market it runs in — never your home currency. If an Australian agency plans a campaign in Auckland, every figure on that plan is in NZD and the invoice is in NZD.

JOLT does not convert currencies anywhere. A rate of 12.00 in one market is not the same price as 12.00 in another, and the platform never implies that it is.

Rate cards are per market

Each market has its own rate card, set by JOLT in that market's currency, and can carry city-level rates beneath it (London, Toronto or Sydney can each be priced differently from the rest of their market). A quote always tells you which rate card it came from. See How pricing works.

Paying in another market

To run a campaign outside your home market you need a payment method that can be charged in that market's currency. JOLT keeps a separate billing profile per market, so the Billing page may ask you to add a card the first time you book somewhere new. Agencies on credit terms are invoiced per market. See Invoices and credit terms.

Where a plan's market comes from

  • In the wizard, the market follows the location you target. Search for Toronto and you are planning in Canada, in CAD.
  • For AI buying agents, the market is read from the brief: a country name, a currency symbol or a known city (Sydney, London, Toronto). Where a city name exists in more than one market, the agent can pin it explicitly. See Buying with an AI agent.
