What is FX Order Watch?

Our FX Order Watch service keeps a constant check on the currency markets, so you don’t have to. You can now place currency trades in advance, knowing that they will only be completed if rates hit your chosen level, within your preferred timeframe.

This service enables you to benefit from our expertise and to potentially take advantage of currency opportunities as and when they happen.

  •   Set your own exchange rate so you make the trade you want, at the level you desire
  •   Choose your own term, so when you place a trade you know it will only happen within an agreed timeframe
  •   Change or cancel your order at any time, for instance, when the FX market moves suddenly in an unfavourable direction
  •   Diversify your assets across currencies
  •   Place your FX Order Watch quickly and easily using Citi Online or speak to your Relationship Manager

Please note: The conversion will take place at the rate inclusive of our commission which will be disclosed to you either through your Relationship Manager or Citi Online before the transaction takes place.

Why would you consider FX Order Watch?

FX Order Watch has been designed with busy people in mind. People who want to make the most out of their money, but don’t have the time to study the financial markets on a daily basis.

Risks

As currency markets fluctuate, there is always a risk with any FX product that you could lose some of your capital even if you make a trade and then immediately decide to switch back to your original currency. For this reason, our FX solutions, including FX Order Watch, are best suited to experienced investors and clients who already operate in more than one currency, or those who are prepared to accept the risk that currencies can fluctuate.

Please read the full terms and conditions of our FX Order Watch service.
