Hedging solutions

Flexible, tailored and forward-thinking, our hedging solutions offer an extensive, insights-driven range of products and instruments to manage the currency risk and costs associated with cross-border trading.

Our hedging solutions bring together the best of both worlds by enabling you to plan ahead and act quickly. These solutions range from spot deals that enable the purchase of a currency amount at a fixed rate for settlement within two working days, to our Forward Exchange Contracts (FECs) that allow you to fix the exchange rate for future-dated payments while tailoring delivery dates to your individual requirements.

Customer Foreign Currency Accounts (CFCs)

Our CFC accounts enable you to manage the risk and streamline the process of transacting in various currencies inherent in the import/export industry.

From foreign currency receipts to payments, our CFC accounts are specifically designed for South African import/export businesses – including providers of services who regularly receive or make foreign currency payments.

Exchange control services

When you are working in one country, it can be challenging to manage your money and make payments in another country. It is at this point where our exchange control services and highly specialised team offers real value.

Our on-the-ground exchange control specialists have the experience and market-driven insights to assist you with simple forex transactions and complex exchange control applications.
