EBC's Hedging Toolkit

Learn the main features of some of the tools we use.

FX Spot Payments
With FX spot payments, you can make a payment and get a live exchange rate for the foreign currency you need to pay in, right then and there. Easy, fast, and secure.

 
Fixed-Dated Forward Contracts
The most common hedging tool, fixed-dated forward contracts lock in today’s rates for an FX payment to be made in the future. The defined future date cannot be altered.

 
Open-Dated Forward Contracts
Open-dated forward contracts have an open time period to settle and deliver the currency, allowing you to draw down against original amount contracted prior to the value date.
 
FX (Cross-Currency) Swaps
Simultaneous purchase and sale of identical amounts of one currency for another with two different value dates is used to modify delivery obligations for fixed-dated forwards.
