Currency Hedging

Managing exposure to changing exchange rates.

Exchange-rate movements can affect budgets, margins, cash flow and the eventual cost of international transactions.

Hedging can help businesses establish greater certainty around eligible future currency requirements.

Rates & Orders

Managing your desired exchange rate.

Target a Rate allows clients to identify an exchange-rate level they would like to achieve for a currency requirement.

Market conditions can then be monitored against the relevant target level.

Market orders can be used to specify a target exchange rate for an eligible currency transaction.

Availability and execution conditions depend on the currency, transaction and applicable terms.
