Read about Market and Limit orders below.

Market Order

Market order is a request from the client to trade at the current market exchange rate. Requesting an order at the market order rate from Direct FX does not constitute a transaction between both parties. Only if the client agrees to trade at the quoted exchange rate is a transaction in place.

Market orders can be requested for amounts equal to or greater than NZD 5,000.00 or the foreign currency equivalent.

Limit Order

Limit order is agreeing to exchange currency at an exchange rate not currently available.For example, if the client would like place an order to sell AUD and buy USD at USD 0.8000, but the current rate was USD 0.7800, the client has the option to place a limit order to sell AUD and buy USD when the rate reaches USD 0.8000. Direct FX will manage the client’s order until completed.

Limit orders can be placed for amounts equal to or greater than NZD 5,000.00 or the foreign currency equivalent.

4. Confirm Order

Once your order is completed by Direct FX, you will receive the trade confirmation. To complete the transfer, both parties must complete the respective settlement obligations:
- Client sold currency paid to Client Funds Account, one day before the settlement date
- On settlement date, Direct FX will deposit to you, or your beneficiary, your bought currency
