Ebury Partners offers risk management tools that help any business that deals with overseas payables and receivables protect their bottom line by minimising their exposure to fluctuating exchange rates.
One tool is the Forward Contract, which allows you to purchase a currency for a future delivery date at the current exchange rate – meaning that your profit margin is predictable and not subject to rate changes in the market. You only have to pay a small deposit too, so there is minimal disruption to your cashflow.
Hedge ratios describe the amount of your yearly transactions are purchased with a Forward Contract. They can vary from 0 – 100%, depending on your ability to forecast your foreign currency requirements and your appetite for risk.
Any business that relies on cross-border trade will want to use an overseas payment system that is reliable, robust and efficient.
To cut down on administration and time commitments, Ebury Partners offers importers and exporters access to a correspondent banking network, allowing any foreign funds to be wired to you rapidly and reliably. We can also help you time your payments, so you can take advantage of any market movements that work in your favour.
One-off international payments and regular payment plans are dealt with in an intelligent manner, saving you and your business time, effort and money.
Our approach to foreign exchange means that we can design a bespoke service that will fit into your existing service with ease, from the execution of your transaction to after-sales support. This leaves you to concentrate on doing what you do best – running your business.
Clients registering from abroad will need to provide some documentation, usually a photo ID (license or passport) and utility bill less than three months old, for our compliance check procedure. However, all cases will be dealt with one-on-one and each person will be advised accordingly.
