| French Alps Local Reference INFOrmation
A guide to how the money markets works with information on various currency transfer options available if you need to exchange US Dollars, Pound Sterling, or any other currency to Euros - whether in a single transfer or on a regular basis.
Currency markets are constantly fluctuating making it difficult to determine a good time to make international payments. Currency Exchange OptionsThis is a brief outline of the tools and products usually offered by FX or currency specialists. Spot contractsBuy or sell a currency for immediate delivery. Spot contracts are suitable if you want to receive your currency quickly and efficiently. Using an FX specialist should also mean that you benefit from better exchange rates. Forward contractsBook to buy or sell currency in the future, at a rate fix today. Forward contracts can help protect against adverse currency movements and can be used to lock into favourable exchange rates. Stop loss ordersSet a minimum level at which to buy or sell currency. An order can be fulfilled automatically if this rate is reached in the markets. Effectively, this guarantees a minimum rate at which currency will be exchanged. Limit ordersSet a higher target exchange rate at which to buy or sell currency. The order will be fulfilled automatically if this rate is reached in the markets. Effectively, this guarantees a maximum rate at which currency will be exchanged. If a limit order is run in parallel with a stop loss order, the exchange rate at which a trade is made is guaranteed within a given range; this allows for more effective forward planning. Regular paymentsFor making regular international payments, an automated regular payment plan can be arranged with a currency specialist. Funds are collected by direct debit and automatically sent to the foreign account.
