Hedge simulator

  • What you can do

    It compares the result between: 

    • Cash payment
    • Forward
    • American forward

Alerts and automatic purchasing

  • Create exchange rate alerts
    Set up alerts from BBVA Empresas to monitor the price of your foreign currency transactions.
  • Automate the purchase and sale of foreign currencies
    Optimize your currency transactions by creating an automatic order to buy or sell currency to be executed when the exchange rate you set is reached.

Forward transactions

  • What forward operations are
    Forward transactions consist of "locking in" the price at which you will buy a currency on a specific date, that is, you guarantee an exchange rate for that day.
  • They provide flexibility
    If you enter into a forward operation because you are going to make a purchase in dollars (USD) within a month, but the payment ends up being moved up, the exchange rate of the operation is adjusted to the market conditions at the time, but you do not pay a fee for the change.

One variant, American forward

  • What American forward entails
    In American forward operations, you also set the price that a currency will have in the future, but if you move the date up, the exchange rate is maintained.
  • When to choose American forward
    The American forward is a good option if you want to set an exchange rate and make sure it will not vary even if you have to move up the settlement date you had chosen.

Spot transactions

  • What a spot transaction is
    Spot currency transactions are those that are settled between the contract date and two business days later. As in the previous ones, a price is also set.
  • You can do them on your phone
    You can do your spot currency trades from the online business banking platform, and also from the app.
