Frequently Asked Questions

Think of it as insurance for your international payments. It allows you to lock in exchange rates for future transactions, protecting your business from currency market fluctuations that could affect your costs or profits. 
If your business regularly makes or receives payments in foreign currencies, hedging might be right for you. Even small currency movements can impact your profits, especially on larger transactions or ongoing payment commitments.
We offer several hedging tools including forward contracts, window forwards and market orders. Each solution can be tailored to match your business’s specific needs and payment schedules.
Most businesses can secure rates up to 12 months in advance, though longer terms may be available, depending on your needs and circumstances. We’ll help you determine the most appropriate timeline for your business. 
That’s an important point. While hedging protects you from unfavorable market swings, being locked into a rate also means you won’t benefit from favorable ones. That’s why we often recommend hedging strategies that protect your core business needs while maintaining some flexibility for market opportunities. Our specialists can help you find the right balance.
