Spot contracts for business: how to book

Spot contracts explained

A spot contract is the simplest form of international payment. We’ll offer you a rate based on a live market rate (or "spot") and you can choose whether or not to transact then and there.

With a spot contract you can make a payment very quickly; as soon as you’ve agreed your rate and we’ve received cleared funds, we then take care of the rest.
