FAQs

  • Forward contracts help you hedge against volatile currency exchange rates, locking in the current rate over a set time period for a fixed value. When you book a contract, you agree to exchange a certain amount at a pre-agreed rate, on a set date or window of time.

  • FX Forwards is available for any business with an open Revolut Business account. You'll need to be incorporated in the UK or EEA as an LTD or PLC, or buy or sell currency for commercial purposes to be eligible.

  • When you book a forward contract with us, you'll agree to a specific rate, which will apply when you carry out the exchange on the completion date. We won't charge more than the amount you agreed to in your contract.

  • Forward contracts with Revolut Business are available for:

    • the purchase or sale of identifiable goods or services

  • Yes, you can cancel your forward contracts anytime. We'll just ask you to pay the 0.8% FX Forwards markup fee, and any mark-to-market difference, which is the difference in the contract's value between the time of booking and the date of cancelling. This mark-to-market difference could be a refund or a charge, depending on market conditions.

    When you cancel, we'll return the 5% deposit to you, with the 0.8% fee subtracted and the mark-to-market difference either added or subtracted.

  • Fixed date contracts allow you to exchange currencies on a specific, pre-agreed future date. Flexible date contracts allow you to exchange all or part of the contract value any time between two future dates you choose, in one or more exchanges.
