    • Fixed exchange rate at which you may buy or sell a certain amount of currency
    • Plan for future currency needs
    • Hedge against adverse foreign exchange movements
    • Wide list of currencies available
    • Certainty of cash flow

It works exactly like an insurance policy, in that you pay a premium for the protection you want on an FX rate. Its features include
    Available in any currency pair where there is a forward market
    No obligation to deal at your protected rate – you can withdraw from the deal at maturity or transact in the spot market if the rate moves in your favor
    Full protection against adverse currency movements
