Forward Contracts are simple yet effective solutions to hedge currency risk. A forward locks the exchange rate at a future date, thereby hedging the risk of exchange rate movement. This allows companies to budget and plan the exchange rate for future payments.
FX Swap is a simultaneous purchase and sale of specific amounts of one currency for another at current spot rate, with a simultaneous agreement to reverse the exchange at a pre-agreed forward rate on a specified future date.
FX Swaps are widely used to protect against fluctuations in exchange rates, making future payments more predictable.
FX Swaps allow companies to utilize the funds they have in one currency to fund obligations denominated in a different currency, without incurring foreign exchange risk. It is an effective and efficient cash management tool for companies that have assets and liabilities denominated in different currencies.
These services are designed for businesses and institutions and are not available to sole proprietorships or individual clients. Manage your currency risk and plan for future transactions with our flexible swap and forward contracts.
• Companies are highly motivated to reduce interest rate risk to protect profitability.
• Interest rate swaps (IRS) offer a mechanism to transfer a fixed rate obligation into a floating rate or vice versa.
• A company that has a loan linked to a floating rate benchmark (SOFR/EIBOR/EURIBOR) runs the risk of rise in borrowing costs in a rising interest rate scenario.
