Currency Exchange Solutions for the Fashion Industry

Mitigating FX risk and reducing currency costs on global payments

 

Working in a fast-paced, global industry with constantly changing trends means that the fashion and textile industries are prepared to thrive under pressure.

Brexit, changing rules for import/export across the globe and strident calls for more sustainability are all on the agenda. Currency costs can eat into the profit margin – buyers are always working a season ahead and fluctuations in currency values can make it difficult to set and accept profitable pricing models.

How is the fashion industry affected by the currency market?

 

Changes in the foreign exchange market can prove crucial to the profits of an international business, with the importing of textiles, the logistics of exporting and the costs of converting foreign revenue all subject to huge fluctuations in value.

Paying suppliers from different countries across varying timescales is also something that international fashion companies will need to take into consideration. Whether you’re making multiple payments to suppliers and partners or exchanging revenue from international buyers, you will need to be sure your business is getting the most from its money.
