Hey @vermasandeep11,

I'm happy to help you gain access to the Enhanced Foreign Exchange Rates API product. Please let us know if you're a bank or a processor in Europe? Also, are you an existing Visa client and what's the name of your company? If you're a bank or processor then you'll be auto-approved for restricted access to the Enhanced FX Rates API product. If you have other questions, please ask and someone will be happy to assist.
