What is a Limit Order?
A limit order allows you to exchange currencies in the future when the rate you’ve chosen is reached.
You can place an order for:
- A target rate: a rate that's higher than the current market rate
- A minimum rate: if the exchange rate goes down and reaches your minimum rate (Stop Loss) the transfer will be processed at that rate to minimise / limit potential FX loss
What is it good for?
- To make a transfer at a specific rate when the transfer is not required immediately.
- When the rate you want to achieve is not currently available on the markets.
How it works
- You need to have a current or savings account with us to use this service
- Tell your Relationship Manager the amount you want to transfer (£100,000 minimum or currency equivalent) and how much you want to receive in the new currency.
- We then work out the exchange rate required to hit this and book this rate as the Limit Order
- Alternatively you may have a target rate to achieve which you can set as the Limit Order.
Things you should know
- Limit orders are not offered for speculative purposes.
- Exchange rates fluctuate so choosing a Limit Order FX can restrict potential losses but also potential gains. We don't provide advice on rates or limit orders.
