Foreign Exchange Services Silicon Valley Bank's foreign exchange services help you move money across borders seamlessly and minimize your foreign currency risk while maximizing returns. Our currency hedging tools and services will make it easier for you to set prices in the local currency of the country you're doing business in order to gain competitive advantage. We trade in virtually all freely traded and non-restricted currencies on the global inter-bank market, directly from our trading floor at Silicon Valley Bank headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif. We offer competitive pricing. We take a personalized and consultative approach to managing your global currency risk. We help you protect the U.S. value of your foreign currency revenues, minimize the translational impact on your balance sheet and mitigate the impact on your company's earnings due to conversion of foreign currency cash flow. Spot Contracts Spot contracts lock in the purchase and sale price of foreign exchange currency for delivery and payment within two business days of signing the contract. Through spot purchase of foreign currency, you can pay a foreign vendor, fund an overseas subsidiary, or make a loan payment. On the revenue side, we can collect foreign currency receivable on your behalf and convert into U.S. dollars through a spot sale contract. Foreign exchange transactions can be highly risky, and losses may occur in short periods of time if there is an adverse movement of exchange rates. Exchange rates can be highly volatile and are impacted by numerous economic, political and social factors, as well as supply and demand and governmental intervention, control and adjustments. Investments in financial instruments carry significant risk, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Before entering any foreign exchange transaction, you should obtain advice from your own tax, financial, legal and other advisors, and only make investment decisions on the basis of your own objectives, experience and resources.
