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

FX Forwards and Options Features

Locking in your best rates

Currency Options provide the right to certain protection at a specified foreign exchange rate on a specific forward date, but with the flexibility of choosing to opt for a spot deal. 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
