For example, you can set the destination country to `United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland` and the payout currency to `GBP`, but if you then try to create a second identity for the same beneficiary where the only difference is the payout currency, now `EUR`, the existing identity for that beneficiary will be overwritten.\n\nTo support the use case described above, create two beneficiary identities with two different nicknames. For example `JoesCoffee_EUR` and `JoesCoffee_GBP`.\n\n:::attention Note:\nIf you need a **beneficiary** to be paid out in different currencies, you need to create separate beneficiary identities for each currency. For example, if you want to pay out a beneficiary in `EUR` and `GBP`, you need to create one identity for this beneficiary where the payout currency is `EUR` and a second identity for the beneficiary where the payout currency is `GBP`.\n::: This only works if the beneficiary has subsidiaries in the respective country, correct?
