Our instruments
-
Outright forward
Fix today the rate at which a future transaction will settle. The agreed rate applies regardless of market movements. It's suited to known amounts and dates, such as lease payments, debt service, and supplier payments.
-
Cancellable forward
The same protection, with the option to cancel if the underlying transaction no longer goes ahead, such as a cancelled order, a deferred payment, or an unawarded tender. It's suited to uncertain amounts and timelines.
Terms designed around your business
Madu offers forward contracts of up to 24 months across 43 currencies. Quotes are held firm for 24 hours, no collateral is required on tenors under three months, and the rate you are quoted is the rate you settle.
Integrate headging into your workflows
