Currency Rates API

I see Zendesk listed as one of the businesses that uses this. Does anyone have an idea why Zendesk would need an exchange rate API?

That's what I thought too but according to their latest quarterly report[1], ZenDesk generates revenue in Ireland, Singapore and "other" countries in Europe and Asia.

I have no direct knowledge about Zendesk's use case however currency conversion is table stakes for any company doing international business. Purchase orders and employee travel expense reports being top of the list.
