When running a business we understand the importance of planning ahead. Risks come in all shapes and sizes which is why we come in to remove the blind spots and deliver a straightforward, pragmatic approach. The reality is nobody knows what is going to happen next in the market. What we do know is that no matter what size your business is, one wrong turn in the market can impact your company’s profits significantly. Our in house hedging programme minimises sensitivity to exchange rate fluctuation by working alongside you to continuously assess risks and help decide how much, how far forward and when to hedge. This enhances your visibility and in turn protects your cash flows, putting you in charge of currency purchases allowing you to continue doing what you do best; growing your business.

A Forward allows you to benefit from locking in an exchange rate for a given amount over a period of up to two years (provided by Equals). We can customise your strategy for either a fixed date in the future or we offer both fixed and flexible term contracts whenever you need to. Forwards help insulate you or your business against market volatility without having to commit cash flow in advance. This helps add certainty to your trading, clearer margins and creates less pressure on prices. This product typically works for those that can forecast future income streams or expenses. It's important to consider that you are obligated to exchange funds on maturity and a 5% deposit may be required.
This product allows you target a specific exchange rate. The platform can automatically execute on your behalf to capture favourable upside movements to achieve your nominated rate whilst you are asleep. These are useful for payments that are not deadline driven.
A Spot Contract is for immediate settlement, usually within two days from the trade being booked depending on what currency you are purchasing. This is the most widely used form of currency exchange, commonly used for supplier payments or converting funds back into your native currency. This instrument gives you the convenience of being able to book via phone, email or online
A Stop Loss is a safety net mechanism to minimise sudden downside movements. Just like a limit order this product allows you to target a rate. In this case, though, the platform automatically executes your worst case specified rate to prevent greater potential losses.
A One-Cancels-the-Other order simultaneously activates both a limit order and stop loss to cover both upside and downside movements. Once one of the orders fills, the other is automatically deactivated.
Whether you are managing a growing supply chain, paying staff wages or working on an overseas project, we have fast, cost effective payment solutions to serve your business in any industry and of any size to achieve enhanced results.
