Although you have to keep in mind that the exchange rate Kobo offers isn't as good as the exchange rate on the day. If I recall correctly the previous time I had one converted from USD to my local currency it was around far less than the actual exchange rate would've been. At that time I got 6.6:1 instead of 8.6:1 (the exchange rate of the day).
Unless they changed it, it's also a cumbersome process. The currencies aren't automatically converted. You have to contact customer support and they'll do a manual conversion.
Keep in mind this was using the system before it was removed, it might have improved since. Would be interesting if someone could give it a try and provide feedback.
