Payouts go out in USD and will be converted to the currency of your account. Lemon Social does not have control over currency exchange rates imposed by your bank

If you are a Creator resident outside of the USA, Lemon Social will collect the required VAT on sales to the USA based Users and pass this directly on to the relevant tax authorities. There is nothing else to do at this time. However, we recommend you seek professional advice to ensure you are compliant with your local rules based on your individual circumstances.
