This can be of great use to many of our clients such as:

• Paid salary/bonus payments in a foreign currency
• Foreign nationals transferring savings from abroad for their mortgage deposit
• Clients being gifted their mortgage deposit from loved ones abroad
• Buying / selling / making ongoing mortgage payments for a property overseas
• Own or manage a business with international activity

For example, if you were looking to buy a home in the UK but your deposit is coming from family from abroad, our partners can ensure you receive the best available exchange rate and pay reduced fees compared to sending the money via your own bank. This could boost the amount of actual deposit available in British pounds when received, or reduce the cost to the sender.

Limit Order:

If you’re looking to achieve a specific rate, they can arrange a limit order. This allows you to target a specific rate of exchange. They monitor the markets on your behalf and should the market reach your predetermined exchange rate, your currency is bought or sold automatically. Your order can be amended or cancelled at any time prior to the transaction taking place. There’s no charge or fee involved in arranging a limit order.

Stop Order:

A stop loss order works in exactly the same way as a limit order but offers you protection should the exchange rate start to move in the wrong direction for you. You can set a stop loss order as an insurance tool, meaning that if the rate moves against you and in the opposite direction to the market trend, you are guaranteed that a worst-case scenario rate is secured at a pre-agreed level so there is no risk of the rate continuing to drop below your budget level.

One Cancels Other (OCO):

This is a combination of a limit and a stop order. During certain market conditions it may seem ideal to place a limit order and try to achieve a rate better than the current market position, however there is always a chance that it may not be achieved and the exchange rate could move against you. The OCO trade allows you to set a best- and worst-case scenario and the rate is secured whichever level is achieved first.
