With forward contracts, you do not have to worry about fluctuations in the exchange rate from the time you agree to buy or sell a product until you have to pay or receive payment for it.
Always informed of the exact exchange rate you will pay or receive
More predictability when doing business abroad
Pay or receive based on the exchange rate, no extra charges
How forward contracts work
When you purchase or sell an item from or to a counterparty in a foreign country, it may take a while before you have to pay or will receive payment. During this period, the exchange rate may fluctuate. This entails that the product may be more expensive or cheaper than when ordered. The larger the amount on your contracts, the larger risk you may gain or lose on currency fluctuations.
If you want to eliminate the exchange rate risk, you can enter into forward contracts. You then pay or receive a pre determined, fixed exchange rate, regardless of the market rate on delivery. The advantage of entering into a forward contract that you always know the exact price of the product when you make the purchase or sale.
The contract rate in the forward agreement is calculated based on the market price (spot rate) and the interest rate difference between the two contract currencies. It is fixed and cannot be changed by the bank or client.
Important information about LEI
To be able to trade in financial instruments, you must have a valid LEI code (Legal Entity Identifier). This is a global standard for identifying companies.
Beneficial if you have regular payments in a foreign currency.
