How does the Ebury Forward Contract work?

Forward Contracts help you manage FX volatility. Also, you can choose a duration that best suits your needs. By locking in an FX rate in advance, you don't need to buy currency in the spot market up front.

With Ebury, you can access a range of forward contracts, including fixed, window, flexible, and dynamic forwards.

*Note: The availability of FX Products can depend on your jurisdiction. Contact us to learn more about the products available in your country.

Are there any risks associated with forward contracts?

You are always required to settle your forward contract. Cancellations or amendments to forward contracts may incur additional costs. Also, unfavourable market changes may need you to provide us with margin (a Margin Call) to cover your position.

Is there any cost to enter into a forward contract?

Our team of credit risk analysts determine this based on your business circumstances.
