How can we help manage your foreign exchange rate risk?
Foreign Currency Accounts
If you regularly make and receive overseas payments, a Foreign Currency Account can make life simpler.
It lets you hold funds in your overseas currency, and make and receive payments without converting them first. It saves you exchange rate fees, and helps you manage your costs when exchange rates change.
Topping up your account or converting funds to New Zealand dollars is as simple as making an online fund transfer using our Financial Markets Online module. We quote a rate for conversion which you can accept or decline.
Foreign Currency Term Deposits
If you're holding foreign currency for a future requirement, depending on the currency you can park the funds in an ASB Foreign Currency term deposit. You earn interest on the funds, and usually at a higher rate than in a standard Foreign Currency Account.
Foreign Exchange Orders
A Foreign Exchange Order (FX Order) lets you create an automated deal at an exchange rate and amount to suit you. When the rate reaches your chosen level, we automatically execute your order.
We monitor FX Orders from market opening on Monday morning NZT to Friday afternoon New York time.
Call Level
If you'd prefer to confirm your currency deal before it happens, a Call Level is right for you. You set your target exchange rate, and we monitor the markets. When the exchange rate hits your target, we confirm your order with you via phone or email before executing it.
For more information about these and other risk management products, please give the Global Markets team a call. They're here to help, Monday to Friday 8:00am–5:00pm NZT.
