WHAT WE CAN PROVIDE

SPOT FX
This is the traditional foreign exchange contract where you buy a currency for settlement in two working days. Upon settlement payment will be made according to your instruction.

SAME DAY / NEXT DAY FOREIGN EXCHANGE
We can offer same day and next day settlement for most of the major currencies, depending on amount and availability.

FORWARD CONTRACT (FIXED DATE)
A Forward Contract is one which is agreed for settlement at some fixed point in the future, after two working days. The forward price is based on the current spot price and adjusted for the interest rate differential between the currencies being bought and sold. This forward rate may be more or less than the current spot price.

FORWARD CONTRACT (VARIABLE DATE)
Similar to the Forward Contract, except settlement is agreed to occur between two dates, which is at the client’s discretion rather than on a fixed date. This is useful when you don’t know precisely when you would need to settle with your counterpart.

MARKET ORDERS
A facility to place market orders either on a ‘limit’ basis or on a ’stop’ basis.

Our platform offers our clients a secure, personal and informed foreign currency exchange facility. We replace the traditional role of the bank in the money exchange transaction, and in doing so, offer a higher level of currency analysis and service not normally found with the banks. We will save you money through commission free transactions and better exchange rates. Its that simple!

UNPARALLELED LIQUIDITY
Around $4 trillion is traded on the FX market each day. This is more than 9x the daily turnover of global equities and 5x the U.S. bond market. The majority of trading in forex is concentrated in the world’s major financial centers eg: London, New York and Tokyo. Typically, a lot of the activity in the forex market is done by central banks, hedge funds, institutional investors and large corporations. However the ability to click on a mouse has brought the forex market to the much smaller trader.

Through our associated FX platform we arrange fast and totally secure international payments. You can place a limit order to buy currency at a predetermined price below the current rate. Alternatively you can place a stop order to buy your currency at a predetermined rate, above the current rate. We also structure orders on a ‘one cancels other’ basis, so if you have both a limit and a stop order in place, and one is executed, the remaining order is automatically cancelled.

If you are looking conduct FX trades, exchange currency or move money internationally and require a safe managed platform then we will have the solution tailored for you.

Financial Services is arguably the most highly regulated industry in the world. The regulatory landscape is ever changing. Regulatory risks and issues are key external drivers in the financial sector’s strategies, processes and organization. Increasingly, the trend towards international regulation calls for cross-border responses.
