FX Transactions

FX spot trades involve the immediate purchase or sale of one currency against another typically settled within two business days. However, NBK also provides pre-spot services ensuring that your currency of choice is delivered either on the same day, or the day after.

FX and Interest Rate Derivatives

NBK offers a variety of products to meet your hedging needs in order to ensure that you are protected from risks and unwanted market price movements.

Offerings include:

  • Forward Contracts: Locking an exchange rate for the purchase or sale of a currency at a future date. The rate and maturity date are agreed prior to executing the deal and does not involve an upfront payment.
  • FX Swaps: An agreement to swap interest rate payments on a loan made in one currency for interest payments on a loan made in another currency. The first leg involves exchanging the agreed amount at the spot rate, while the second leg involves swapping back the amount to the original currency at a pre-agreed rate.
  • FX Options: Gives you the right but not the obligation to exchange from one currency to another at a pre-agreed rate and date. This product gives you the flexibility to decide whether to exercise the option depending on market rates at the option expiry date. When purchasing an option, there will be an upfront premium payment.

NBK also offers a wide range of interest rate hedging solutions with the purpose of reducing your interest rate exposures in the world’s major currencies. Examples are:

  • Interest Rate Swaps: An agreement that allows for the exchange of two distinct interest rate cashflows over a period of time. This usually involves the exchange of a fixed interest rate for a floating rate.
  • Cross-Currency Swaps: An agreement that allows for the exchange of interest payments as well as principal amounts denominated in two different currencies.
  • Caps, Floors and Collars: These options are used to hedge exposure to interest rate moves. It protects a borrower against rising interest rates (Caps), establishes a floor on declining interest rates (Floors) or protection against interest rate fluctuations (Collars).

Capital Guaranteed Structured Deposits

Investment products that combine elements of a term deposit, as well as the performance of an underlying financial instrument. These financial instruments include stock indices, shares of publicly traded companies, commodity indices, interest rates or currencies. At maturity the product will guarantee that you are returned 100% of your initial investment. Additionally, it offers clients the chance to make higher returns than a standard term deposit. It’s an ideal product for those seeking to enhance their returns while gaining exposure to diverse markets on a global scale.
