Just as when dealing with a bank, a credit risk exists in the event of counterparty's default. To manage and reduce credit risk, counterparties sign legally binding contracts which prevents voluntary default. Nevertheless, if FXWELLS defaults, FXWELLS will completely refund any fees to the client. In the event that the client was at gain, the client is not impacted by the default since defaulting counterparts are not entitled to profit in this way. If the client was at loss, FXWELLS will not only refund the client the fees charged but will also pay such loss to the clilent.

Our fee for setting up hedging positions depends on the size and time, but is usually less than five percent of the underlying transaction size, falling to 1.5% with for 1 month hedging.

An important service we provide is third-party verification of the exchange rate, since pricing can be opaque and banks sometimes use this to their advantage. FXWELLS has access to inter-bank pricing, which enables us to show you what the bank is paying and could save your company a substantial amount of money.
