Foreign Exchange strategies for your business

Spot contracts

Put simply, a spot contract lets you convert currency either right away or with minimal notice. It can allow you to make a foreign exchange payment the same day.

Forward contracts

Add certainty to your international transactions by securing the price of future foreign currency. Forward contracts let you lock in your rate today and pay at a later date. Fix the price up to three years in advance.

Treasury ‘health checks’

Unlock new treasury opportunities. Our expert team can help you take stock of your existing currency risk strategy, identify potential improvements, and build a robust plan that’s specific to your business.
