Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts allow customers to fix the future foreign exchange rate, suitable for customers with future receivables/investment incomes or payment obligations denominated in foreign currencies to lock on the related revenues or costs. Our bank offers Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts in major currencies including HKD, USD, CNY/CNH, GBP, JPY, EUR, CHF, AUD, NZD and CAD.

Non-Deliverable Forward (NDF) Contracts

Non-Deliverable Forward (NDF) is a notional forward transaction with no physical settlement of principal. At maturity, contracting parties only need to settle the difference between the contracted forward rate and the fixing spot rate in USD, creating lower impact on the cash flows of customers comparing to entering to Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts.
