There are various options available to you when changing your money to the local currency of your new home country involving differing levels of risk.

Scenario 1

- You have all the funds available to you:

Firstly, you can enter into a spot contract meaning that you will change all your funds immediately and you will know exactly what you have in the local currency. These funds can then be transferred to your foreign bank account free of charge where it can earn interest for you. This course of action would be free of risk.

Alternatively, it may be likely that the local currency rate may rise and you may decide that the best thing to do is to inform our dealers to employ a ‘stop loss’ order. For example you are emigrating to the US and changing sterling into dollars. The dealer arranges a stop loss order whereby you are a guaranteed a specific rate but there is also the opportunity for the rate to improve. Thirdly, a ‘limit order’ can be employed where a target or desired price is stated. Our dealers watch the market and when this desired level is reached we automatically buy the currency at that rate. Finally, you can always buy the currency just before you go but this is very risky as the rate may not be as favourable as previously.

Scenario 2:

-You don’t have all the funds available immediately:

Even if you do not have access to all your funds you can still have options. You can choose enter into a forward contract. This is like a ‘buy now, pay later’ option. You agree a rate with our dealer; pay a 10% deposit which secures this rate for you. The 90% deposit is paid on a future specified date. This eliminates risk from exchange rate fluctuations.
