The exchange of currencies in two (business) days' time, at today's agreed rate. FX Spot is also used for same day and value tomorrow payments.
An FX spot deal is the simplest method of buying or selling foreign currency.
Can be accessed and managed online.
Relying on the spot market for your future foreign currency requirements can expose you to unfavourable changes in foreign currency values.
Once you've locked in a spot deal, you must deliver on your agreement on the maturity date.
FX Spot could be suitable if:
• you're a business with foreign currency payments or receipts, or
• your business can sustain exposure to foreign exchange rate movements without a material impact on your profit or cash flow.
