Tips

  • Define your threshold alerts around your transaction sizes — a 0.5% move on a £1m transaction is £5,000
  • Monitor rates daily and build a rate log to track average execution prices over time
  • Set alerts for the currency pairs most relevant to your outstanding payables and receivables
