Business Clients
The volatile nature of the foreign exchange markets poses a great risk of sudden and drastic rate movements. We understand that the smallest movement can be the difference between a profit, break-even or even a loss.
Whether you're responsible for a small or medium-sized business engaged in international trade, or a large multinational corporation with a continual need to make payments to a global network of suppliers, we have the expertise and experience to help simplify your payment and receipt processes and mitigate the risk of exchange rate fluctuations.
Our service includes risk management hedging solutions designed to manage your currency exposure with a range of instruments and features to suit your risk profile. We will help with formulating strategies to significantly reduce your risk exposure and help to improve cash flow.
Below is an illustration of how and when changes in Foreign Exchange rates will affect your cash flow and the measures we consider to minimise the risk.
