How does the Riyad Bank Foreign Exchange work for you?

Foreign Exchange offers the following services:

Spot Transactions for Immediate Settlement
"Spot" is the market terminology for an exchange of currencies for delivery, normally two working days after the date of the trade, known as the value date of the deal.
Buying and selling currencies for spot delivery is not a method of hedging. Merely the purchase and delivery of a given amount of currency as and when required.
Forward Transactions
A forward transaction allows the customer to buy a given amount of currency for delivery on a specific date in the future. This allows the customer to hedge himself against future movements, either positive or negative, in the currency markets.
Foreign Exchange Options
By purchasing an option the customer has the right, but not the obligation, to buy the currency he requires at a given future date. By paying a premium, the customer is able to "lock in" his worst rate, yet, benefit from a movement of the market in his favour. Reduced and zero cost option strategies are also available.
