There are many reasons why businesses engage in international money transfers. Whether your business is paying for imported goods, receiving payment for goods or services sold abroad, paying overseas staff, repatriating overseas earnings, or simply buying an asset or making a one-off purchase, we can help.
Transferring international funds at the right time is critical. It’s all about effectively managing your currency requirements and avoiding unnecessary risk.
We offer our clients dedicated guidance on a range of bespoke strategies to save them both time and money on their international transfers. These include providing specific solutions to get competitive exchange rates on the day, or reserving favourable rates for future purchases.

A spot contract involves exchanging currencies at the current market rates for immediate settlement. |
A forward contract allows you to fix an exchange rate for up to 12 months ahead. The currency can be delivered earlier or later than the agreed settlement date, either in full or in multiple payments, by drawing down from the initial lump sum. This can be a practical solution for planning anticipated payments and a good way to protect margins and eliminate any cash flow uncertainty due to market volatility. | |

MARKET ORDERSWe understand that buying currency is not always a matter of buying at the best price but trading at the right time. The currency markets can be volatile and, without careful management, even routine exchange rate fluctuations can negatively impact your company’s profitability. If you want to protect your bottom line, we can help you take a proactive approach to managing your foreign exchange exposures by implementing specialist risk management solutions. | ||

A limit order is an automated order to buy or sell currency at a predetermined ‘best case’ exchange rate, which, if achieved, will automatically fulfil your instruction. A limit order can be useful if there is flexibility on the timing of your trade and is used to enhance profit margins. |
A stop-loss order is an automated order to buy or sell currency at a predetermined ‘worst case’ exchange rate, which, if achieved, will automatically fulfil your instruction. It is used to protect bottom-line profit margins and costing levels. | |

MARKET ORDERS IN COMBINATIONBy knowing the best and worst acceptable rates, a limit order and stop-loss order can work together by ‘ring-fencing’ the market to minimise your risk. |
