Foreign Currency Banking
Opening a foreign currency account
If you regularly receive and make payments in a foreign currency, or your business
has a strong hold in the overseas market, then you are good candidate for opening
a foreign currency account. No conversion costs are due, when make your payments
from out a foreign currency account, which saves quite some money on the log
run. There is no difference in managing a foreign currency account or a standard
current account; many banks in fact offer this service. Charges for a foreign
currency account and the qualification criterias are different from bank to bank.
Opening a bank account requires the usual diligence procedures.
In general charges per cheque are more expensive than Sterling current accounts
because there is more work involved. Certainly, if you are residing in the US,
or sell and buy in the US, it makes sense to keep the money in dollars as you
save the exchange costs.
Accounts in US Dollar, Euro and British Pound are the most frequently requested
currency accounts. They grant you the following benefits:
- Make transactions in your chosen foreign currency.
- You can fund short-term cashflow requirements with your currency account.
- Any business dealing in one or more foreign currencies can be handled.
- The risk of the currency exchange rate fluctuation is eradicated.
Foreign currency accounts are therefore very useful when making regular payments
in a foreign currency.
