SPOT
A spot contract is a binding obligation to buy or sell a certain product or amount of foreign currency at the current market rate, for settlement in two business days' time. To enter into a spot deal you advise us of the amount, the two currencies involved and which currency you would like to buy or sell.
FORWARD
A forward contract is a binding obligation to buy or sell a certain product or amount of foreign currency at a pre-agreed rate of exchange, on a certain future date. To take out a forward contract you need to advise us of the amount, the two currencies involved, the expiry date and whether you would like to buy or sell the currency.
TIME FORWARD
Simply put, this is a “buy now, pay later” option with a delivery period
ORDERS
An Order is a method of making sure you get an exchange rate that is within your resources, and trying to prevent your financial plan from being broken. As soon as your desired exchange rate is achieved, the currency is automatically purchased for you regardless of what time zone it occurs. This will allow you more control over your financial plan and utilises the time you have in to make payment to try and achieve better exchange rates.
Which option is right for you will depend on your timing, circumstances and currency requirement(s) and you can discuss your options at greater length with any of the piagi team.
