Exchange Today (Spot)

Spot Transactions, are those where you need to make an international payment immediately.

For a Spot Transaction, you will call or email us with the amounts and currencies involved. We will give you the total cost and you have the option to book that deal. Once a transaction is ‘booked’ you are obligated to send the required funds to us and we are required to deliver on the transaction as promised. Everything runs very smoothly.

Benefits of Spot Transactions:

Immediate ordering and delivery of a foreign currency wire.
Easy tracking of your payment.
We can automatically notify your beneficiary (if you elect) that a payment is on its way from you to them.

Exchange in the Future (Forwards)

A forward transaction enables you to buy or sell a currency at a fixed rate on a specified future date. You may lock in today's forward exchange rates and eliminate the risk of future volatility with forward contracts.

Forwards are perfect when funds are needed in 2 weeks to 18 months. A 10% deposit is typically required for forward market contracts (or 'forwards') within 2 business days of locking in the transaction. Forwards are priced based on the amount of time you wish to go forward, i.e. 30 days, 6 months, 12 months and the interest rate differential between the two countries' currencies.

Forward Contracts

Exact settlement date in the future.
Used to meet date-sensitive future payment obligations.
Flexibility to extend settlement date.*

"Window" Forward Contracts

Settle a contract within a pre-agreed range of days (a "window" of time).
Used when there is uncertainty regarding the actual payment date.
Flexibility to give or take small portions of currency from the original amount contracted ("drawing down" from the forward contract).

Forward or "Window" Forward?

Each client's individual situation dictates the choice. If you need to make a date-sensitive one-time future payment, then a closed forward contract would suffice. But if you would like to have the flexibility to make several payments at different future dates, an open forward contract should satisfy your requirements. Speak with your Venstar Exchange Account Specialist to evaluate your particular business or personal needs and decide on your risk mitigation strategy.

* Note: Forward contract obligations must be fulfilled and there may be costs associated with early termination or extension. Extensions can only occur under certain conditions and are subject to approval.

Exchange at Your Rates (Auto-Fill Order)

When you have a specific exchange rate in mind because of business agreements or budget constraints, a n Auto-Fill Order is likely the best type of transaction for you. You tell the rate at which you want to make the exchange and we place that information in our system which watches the market every minute of every day. If the market gets to a point where we can meet your designated rate, our systems will buy your funds as requested even if it happens during the night or on a weekend. You can adjust the target rate or even cancel the order anytime before it fills without obligation.

Protects you in budget constraint situations.
Protects you in overseas job bidding situations.
Protects you in various business agreements in which the exchange rate is fixed.
Sets your mind at ease that you will get the rate you targeted as long as the market moves into your range.
