Forward transactions for individuals

Forward is a currency transaction that fixes client’s obligation to sell foreign currency in a certain time and on certain conditions in the future at a fixed rate. Such transactions are carried out to hedge the risks of changes in the exchange rate of one currency to another.

Advantages of forward contracts:

  • Possibility to profit from exchange rate differences

If the client’s forecast regarding the exchange rate change comes true, he fixes a favourable rate in advance and earns on the difference between the forward and current rates on the settlement date.

  • Flexibility in currency planning

Forward allows optimizing currency flows, plan expenses and income in the currency needed, using expected exchange rate fluctuations in your favour.

  • No need to actually buy/sell the currency immediately

This allows earning on the forecast of exchange rate movements without diverting liquidity - the client does not spend money until the transaction is completed.
