FOREIGN
CURRENCY
MAP
The Foreign Currency Map summarises the capacity of major UK banks and remittance firms to deliver currency to countries
where international NGOs work. The map builds on CFDG and Stamp Out Poverty’s guide for charities on foreign exchange,
Better FX.
One of the key messages coming from Better FX is that charities should not restrict themselves to one currency provider – comparing rates and engaging
in competitive tender saves money. The information here is a guide to understanding the scope of the ‘exotic’ currency market in the UK. By detailing the
specialisations of different providers, the table should help reduce the time spent by finance and treasury teams identifying service providers to work with.
The table covers whether contributing banks and remittance firms are able to deliver for each currency listed:
– S: A spot rate. The current exchange rate for trading a currency in the open market.
– F: A deliverable forward contract. An agreement to buy or sell a currency at a certain future price, for a certain rate agreed today.
– NDF: A non-deliverable forward contract. A derivative instrument for hedging the exchange rate risk. It removes almost as much risk as a
physically deliverable forward, but also requires an additional ‘spot’ exchange transaction as the contract expires.
– ALL: All of the above are available.
It also details any associated SWIFT charges. The number, in brackets on the chart, corresponds to one of the charging structures. Where no number has
been listed, it is usually because the client can choose the charging structure.
– (1) BEN: Beneficiary bears the charges. The beneficiary bears all charges of the banks engaged in the transfer of the payment. The client only
pays the remittance amount. All charges (UK bank as well as those of the intermediary bank, beneficiary bank, etc.) will be deducted from the
remittance amount and the beneficiary will receive the remaining balance.
– (2) SHA: Charges are shared. UK client pays the UK banks charges and the remittance amount. The beneficiary bears the charges of all the
other banks (the intermediary bank, beneficiary bank, etc.). The beneficiary will receive the remaining balance. This is the most common type of
charge, where each party bears their respective charges.
– (3) OUR: Remitter bears the charges. UK client bears all charges of the payment, which includes the remittance amount, UK bank’s charges,
as well as all the other banks' fees (intermediary bank, beneficiary bank, etc.), so the beneficiary receives the complete payment. The UK bank
will debit the UK client’s account for payment of the charges after the exact amount has been identified.
The highlighted currencies have been listed as the top 20 recipients of bilateral aid from the Department for International Development (DfID), based on
2009/10 statistics. Although their data does not provide a comprehensive reflection of where individual INGOs send their funds, it provides some
indication of the currencies that are likely to be in high demand by UK charities.
