As the global marketplace continues to evolve, businesses and individuals require agile solutions to navigate the complexities of currency exchange. At Atlantic Union Bank, we understand these challenges and have crafted a comprehensive suite of services to address your foreign exchange needs:
- Spot transactions - A spot trade, also known as a spot transaction, is when a trader buys or sells a financial instrument, commodity or foreign currency on a specific date (the spot date). A spot contract often involves the physical delivery of currency or commodity.
- Forward contracts - A forward contract is a customized contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. A forward contract can be used for hedging or speculation, although its non-standardized nature makes it particularly apt for hedging.
- Options - A currency option (also known as a forex option) is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a certain currency at a specified exchange rate on or before a specified date. For this right, a premium is paid to the seller.
- Swaps - Swaps are derivative contracts between two parties who agree to exchange assets with cash flows for a specified period of time.
