What is the difference between a Forward Exchange Contract and a Limit Order?
Our range of risk management transfer options all help you to manage the risk associated with larger transfers and provide benefits for both personal and business transfers.
Forward Exchange Contracts allow you to “buy now, transfer later.” This could be right for you if you want to lock-in the current exchange rate but aren’t ready to make the transfer now. You can schedule your transfer between two days to twelve months from today, protecting you from rate fluctuations. Please note there is a minimum transfer amount of USD 10,000 or equivalent.
With our Target Rate Transfer (Limit Order) you can set your target exchange rate and once it’s triggered we’ll contact you to complete your transfer. This means we’ll watch the market for when you can’t, so you save time as well as your money with our great exchange rates. Our minimum transfer amount for Limit Orders is USD 1,000 or equivalent and is valid for up to 6 months.
