Description |
Benefits |
RegionsFX Online |
Internet-based foreign exchange system which enables your company to initiate foreign currency denominated wires and drafts directly from your own computer. |
Reduces transaction time by allowing users to complete entire transaction online based on real-time exchange rates. Users have access to Foreign Currency Account balances and wire capability. RegionsFX also facilitates record keeping, transaction history and utilizes repetitive templates to reduce execution time to a few keystrokes. |
Spot Contracts |
Buy or sell foreign currency for immediate use. |
Makes purchasing and selling foreign currencies simple and convenient while ensuring competitive pricing on your foreign exchange transactions. |
Outright Forward Contracts |
Buy or sell foreign currency at a fixed price for a specific future date. |
Protects future cash flows from negative currency fluctuations and locks in exchange rates so you can plan on a known future cash flow. |
Variable Delivery Forward Contracts |
Buy or sell foreign currency at a fixed price for a period of time in the future rather than a specific date. |
Provides more flexible settlement dates by allowing partial delivery of the contract at different intervals during the delivery window. Locks in exchange rates and allows consolidation of small forward requirements into one larger contract. |
Foreign Currency Accounts |
Designed for companies that have commonly denominated payables and receivables in foreign currency. |
Protects your company from spot price variations, gives you more control over your accounts, increases transaction efficiency and may lower fees. |
Foreign Currency Time Deposits |
Provides the ability to invest in a foreign currency at the respective country’s interest rate for a specific period of time. |
Allows you to diversify your existing portfolio and to potentially earn higher interest rates than those available domestically while taking advantage of any favorable exchange rate move. |
| Foreign Currency Swap |
An agreement between two parties to exchange a given amount of one currency for another and after a period of time, to give back the original amounts swapped. |
A swap simultaneously locks in a spot and forward rate which protects against current and future exchange rate fluctuations. A swap can be used when there is a timing change for a payment or receipt of foreign currency if a forward hedge is already in place. |
Options |
Numerous derivative products are available to provide flexibility in meeting individual needs. |
Suitable for covering uncertain or contingent exposures because they do not obligate you to exchange currencies. Exchange at the better rate of either the option strike price or the current market rate, eliminating the downside risk in a position while remaining open to upside potential. |
| Foreign Check Processing |
Deposit foreign checks with Regions for immediate credit or collection processing. |
Allows companies to accept payment via check denominated in foreign currency or U.S. dollars. Checks may be handled at any Regions location. Available for select countries. |
