Get StartedWhat Does Kuda FX Do?
Kuda FX assists corporations with FX Conversions and payments. Our instruments include:
Spots
This is an immediate buy of currency at the current rate the exchange rate is. We can execute the trade on the same day, or the next day.
FX Contracts
The promise to buy or sell something at a fixed price in the future, protecting both parties from price changes. It helps a business plan ahead and reduce uncertainty about future prices.
Swaps
An agreement between two parties to exchange cash flows based on specific conditions, safeguarding them from risks associated with foreign exchange rates and protecting their money from unexpected changes.
Options
Gives the holder the right to buy (call option) or sell (put option) foreign currency at a predetermined exchange rate on or before a specific date.
Each strategy works in a different way, but the goal is the same: to lock in a specific exchange rate for a future transaction. This is how Kuda FX ensures clients receive competitive conversion rates:
