Question 4

Why am I being asked to sign for card transactions?

Accepted Answer

As your Centtrip card is a US issued card, when using it in stores, restaurants, hotels e.t.c, it is likely that you will be asked to sign for the transaction, as opposed to entering your PIN.

At Point of Sale you should always enter your card into the merchant's POS machine as normal, and the merchant should then provide you with a slip to sign.

Question 7

What is a Forward Contract, what are the benefits and how do I set one up?

Accepted Answer

Forwards enable you to reduce uncertainty and mitigate currency risk by securing a fixed exchange rate for delivery in the future. They give you the freedom to take advantage of exchange rates in times that make sense for you, without having to pay for them until they are needed. This keeps your funds free for other uses and protects you from currency fluctuations.

Types of Forward Contract

Fixed Dated Forward

A Fixed Dated Forward enables you to buy or sell currency for settlement on a specific date in the future, at a pre-determind rate. Unlike a Spot Contract, a Fixed Forward eliminates the risk of a market fluctuation which is out of your favour, by locking in a favourable rate for a future transaction.

Tailor delivery dates to suit your requirements
Allows flexibility for early delivery or to extend the delivery date
Eliminates pricing uncertainties by locking in a favourable rate
Delivery dates up to 12 months in the future

Window Forward

A Window Forward is similar to a Fixed Dated Forward, but offers additional benefits by providing multiple settlements at a fixed rate, within the pretermined timeframe.

You set the delivery window
Allows for multiple deliveries
The total amount of the contract can be settled in increments
Single or multiple deliveries are set at a single exchange rate

Non-Deliverable Forward (NDF)

A NDF allows hedging in currencies where governement regulations retrict foreign access to local currency or the parties want to compensate for risk without a physical exchange of funds. NDF settle against a fixing rate at maturity, with the net amount in USD, or another fully convertible currency, either paid or received.

Question 9

What is a Market Order, what are the benefits and how do I set one up?

Accepted Answer

Take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations by setting a target rate and letting Centtrip watch the market for you. If the market reaches your target rate, we will automatically execute the buying or selling of your specified currency, day or night. So you don't have to worry about missing an FX opportunity.

Types of Market Order

1) Take Profit

A Take Profit Order enables you to take advantage of favorable market movements. Choose a target rate better than the current market level. If the market reaches your target rate, your order is automatically processed on your behalf. You can set this up directly within your Centtrip account.

2) Stop Loss

A Stop Loss Order can be used to stop further loss when an appreciating market starts to reverse. This protects you from purchasing currency at a poorer rate than expected or required. Choose a 'worst case' target rate that is weaker than the current market level and your order will be automatically executed if the market reaches this rate, protecting your profits. Contact our team to discuss or place a Stop Loss Order.

3) One Cancels Other

This is a combination of both a Take Profit Order and a Stop Loss. If the market appreciates and the Take Profit Order is triggered, the Stop Loss will automatically be cancelled. Conversely, if the Stop Loss is triggered the Take Profit Order will automatically be cancelled. These are enable you to take advantage of a positive market move, whilst protecting a key level.
