Benefit from positive FX market movements

Vanilla Options give you the right – but not the obligation – to buy or sell at a specified exchange rate in the future, allowing you to benefit fully from favorable rate movements in exchange for a premium.

But with our zero-cost options, you get protection and a degree of participation without the upfront cost.

Please note that options products are not available in all regions.

Protect against adverse movements with flexibility

Our protect (level 1) range of option products provides protection with a great deal of flexibility to benefit in the event of positive market movements.*

Protect and participate

Our participate (level 2) range of option products gives you a bit less protection but has the possibility of greater advantages.*

Participate in high risk with the potential of high return

Level 3 options provide less protection but give you the highest outcome potential if the market moves favorably.*

*Hedging products are derivative financial instruments which involve risks due to FX market volatility. This can be disadvantageous and pose risks. If uncertainties concerning your risk management remain, we advise to not enter into contracts with Financial Instruments.

1 The rates displayed by our free currency converter are neither “buy” nor “sell” rates, but interbank rates, the wholesale exchange rates between banks for transaction amounts over $5 million USD equivalent. Interbank rates don’t include the spreads, handling fees, and other charges that may be assessed by foreign exchange providers. Please note that, as such, these rates will vary from the rates available to our private and small business customers, due to transaction sizes and processing costs. These rates are therefore provided for indicative purposes only.
