What is a spot contract?
A spot foreign exchange contract, or FX spot contract, is a useful tool if you need to transfer money quickly and at current market rates. They are ideal for meeting urgent international payments or protecting your budget from fluctuating or failing exchange rates. Booking your spot contract with FCP provides a fast, efficient and secure solution to meet your financial requirements.
Why choose spot contracts?

- Exchange rate certainty: With a spot currency contract, FCP will help you secure the current exchange rate immediately, minimising the risk of rate fluctuations that might affect the cost of your transaction.

How spot contracts work
Once you’ve discussed your needs with your dedicated FCP account manager, we secure your funds at a competitive agreed rate. As soon as your rate is locked in, you are contracted to transfer the money to Foreign Currency Partner’s secure account within two days. This is an entirely separate ring-fenced account containing only client funds.
Upon receipt of your funds, we exchange them immediately at the agreed spot contract rate and forward them to your recipient or hold them on your FCP account.
Is an FX spot contract the right choice for you?
Most people choose a spot contract because they urgently need to meet a financial deadline. FCP helps ensure quick clearing and the transfer of funds. It’s important to note that the funds need to be cleared in our client account within two days when booking a spot contract with us.
More flexible options
If you have more time, you could fix the same rate for a longer period using a forward contract, or hold out for a better rate using a limit order.
