Guide to currency trading

What you need to be aware of when trading foreign currency

Does your business deal with foreign suppliers or customers? Then, you are familiar with the costs and challenges that arise when you pay or receive payments in a currency other than Danish kroner.

You can make smarter financial decisions and minimize costs with a good understanding of currency exchange and international payments.

In our new mini-guide, you will find tips to avoid expensive fees and make your international transactions more efficient.

Here's how our currency solution helps Danish SMEs

Below, you can see how our new currency platform helps strengthen Danish SMEs' competitiveness and negotiating power and makes it easier and cheaper for them to do business with customers and suppliers abroad.

Increased Sales to Africa

A Danish SME sells food products to several African countries but has been limited by local banks that often lack USD for their customers.

With kompasbanks' FX solution, the company can receive payments in local currencies, removing a significant trade barrier. This is expected to double sales to Africa.

Reducing costs

A Danish SME runs a Shopify webshop and sells to countries worldwide, but currency exchange to DKK or EUR can be very expensive.

Since kompasbank's currency solution is fully integrated with Shopify, the company can transfer revenue to a local account and exchange it into any currency—at a significantly better rate. The result? Lower costs and greater savings.

Faster payments to Asia

A Danish SME buys goods in several Asian countries and typically pays one week before shipment to ensure that the supplier receives the payment.

With kompasbank’s FX solution, the company can pay its suppliers in local currency directly from a local account – faster and with extended liquidity.

Challenges of trading in foreign currency

  • Timing of fund transfer

If you don't have a local account in the desired currency, it may take longer for the money to arrive, which can affect your business's liquidity.

  • High costs and spreads

When you exchange currency, a currency margin or "spread" is added to the base rate you see online.

  • Slow services

Many traditional banks lack self-service options for currency exchange. This can be inconvenient and slow

  • Limited currency selection

Many banks only offer a limited selection of currencies, which may not meet your needs.
