Spot Contracts

Spot contracts are perfect if you need to make an international payment quickly. We offer you a rate based on the live market, if you’re happy with the rate you can secure it straight away. Once you’ve settled your deal, we’ll arrange to transfer your funds. 

Forward Contracts

A forward contract is an agreement to exchange currency at a future date based on a price agreed today. This is quite simply a buy now pay later solution. Ideal if you are concerned the rate will get worse and you want to protect your budget. 

Market Orders

A great way to target a particular exchange rate is to use Market Orders. Simply tell us what level you would like to trade at and we’ll put an instruction into the market to trade at that level should the price become available.

Protect your Funds

The best way for SME’s to hedge is to use a Forward Contract. Forward contracts are easy to use, quick to implement and are specifically designed for reducing or eliminating risk on future dated transactions.

Purpose of Hedging

It’s a common misconception but the aim of currency hedging is not to second-guess what the exchange rate will do; but rather to protect your transactions against the possibility of adverse movements.

Understand your Risk

When assessing the true value of your risk, you should estimate how much the exchange rate could move between now and when you need to make a payment, and how that movement could affect the value of your future transaction.
