Sit back and relax

Once your market order is set up, your international payment will be automatically booked when your target client rate is reached. You will be notified by email whether or not the desired rate is reached within the time period.

In case your target client rate is not met before the expiry date, your order will simply expire and you’ll have the option to either extend it or make the trade manually at the current rate.

5 Tips to manage currency risk

Simplify risk management with market orders
Natural offsets exposures
Always try to identify natural offsets in your exposures. This will protect your company from currency risks. If your company is exposed to Euros and Dollars, it can offset any adverse currency volatility.

Currency fluctuations
Currency risk is a growing concern for CFO’s. Many don’t actively manage their exposures. Understand how currency fluctuations affect your business.

Foreign exchange calendar
Analyse the past year and your currency flows. This is the best starting approach to preparing a foreign exchange calendar to help build your currency risk management strategy.

Calculating profit margin
Calculating your production costs, and setting a desired profit margin will enable you to settle on a target exchange rate. This can help nurture your strategy throughout the year.
