If you’re looking to achieve a specific rate, we can arrange a Market Order. This allows you to target a specific rate of exchange. We monitor the markets on your behalf, and should the market reach your predetermined exchange rate, your currency is bought or sold automatically. Your order can be amended or canceled at any time prior to the transaction taking place. There’s no charge or fee involved in arranging a Market Order.
