Spot FX

The spot contract is the most basic and popular foreign exchange product. Spot contracts are used when currency is required immediately. It enables you to buy the currency at today's live rate and the currency will be available to you on receipt of your cleared funds.

Forward Contract

Forward contracts are a "buy now - pay later" solution to avoid currency market risk. You will be able to lock into a favourable exchange rate today for currency that you need up to 2 years in the future.

All that is required is a deposit of 10%. The balance is only required on the delivery date of the contract and can remain in your bank account earning interest.

Forward contracts are widely used by property buyers as transactions often take weeks to conclude, leaving buyers exposed to a volatile currency market. They are also useful for stage payments on new builds and are a vital risk management tool for large corporations.

Stop Loss Order

Protect yourself against a sudden adverse movement in the exchange rate using a stop loss. This type of foreign exchange has become more popular - simply specify the minimum rate you need to achieve and the stop loss will automatically ensure that your currency is purchased if the exchange rate falls unexpectedly. This allows you to hold out for a better exchange rate while protecting yourself against a sudden fall in the market.
