How you buy currency decides how much risk your business carries when exchange rates move.
You convert at today’s rate and pay now. Simple and right for most everyday payments.
You lock in a rate today for a payment due later, so a known cost can’t rise if the currency moves.
You set a worst-case rate but can still benefit if the rate moves in your favour, for an upfront cost.
Every rating comes from the provider’s published terms, checked against official sources and dated. Partners and non-partners are rated the same way.
