What Is a Forward Contract?

A forward contract lets you lock in today’s foreign exchange rate for a future currency transfer. Whether you're sending funds in 1, 3, or even 12 months, you'll know the exact rate in advance — giving your business financial clarity and protection against currency volatility.

Understanding and Utilizing Forward Contracts

Hedging as a risk management strategy

A forward contract allows you to agree a specific price in advance. This way, you will know the exact amount necessary to pay, and what amount in your chosen currency you will receive. If the exchange rate rises, this negative move will not affect you. However, this also means that your forward contract does not benefit from favorable market movements. In this instance, to take advantage of the preferential rate, you could execute a spot transaction.

See below how a forward contract locks in an exchange rate, and protects against movements in the currency markets:

Financial markets are volatile and exchange rates can vary significantly in a short time frame. When the markets move against your business, your profits could be affected. That's why managing your foreign exchange risk is key.
