How Exporters Get the Best Forex Rates with TreasuryONE

Foreign exchange rates directly affect your revenue, margins, and global competitiveness. As an exporter, getting the best forex rates can significantly improve your bottom line.

At TreasuryONE, we help exporters manage currency inflows smartly—so you don’t just convert when funds arrive, but when it makes business sense. Here’s how we support exporters in securing the best possible rates.

1. Access to Better Forex Rates

TreasuryONE connects exporters to the corporate forex market, giving you:

• Sharper rates because we compare all banks

• Low spread execution with full transparency

• Access to better conversion outcomes on every deal

This ensures you’re consistently positioned to get the best forex rates when converting inbound foreign currency.

2. Proactive Rate Management by Dedicated Dealers

Rather than waiting to convert at a bank’s spot rate, TreasuryONE helps exporters time the market more effectively:

• We track rates on your behalf and alert you to favourable levels

• Our dealers act immediately when conditions are right

• We help you plan conversions around your cash flow needs, not just bank cut-off times

That means higher ZAR realisations and better financial outcomes.

3. Strategic Hedging for Future Inflows

Exporters often face delays between shipping goods and receiving payment. TreasuryONE helps you:

• Lock in today’s exchange rate using forward cover

• Structure hedging strategies based on expected inflows and timing

• Avoid conversion at weak rates if the rand strengthens after invoicing

By protecting your expected revenues, you maintain margin certainty, while still having access to upside when the market moves in your favour.

4. Market Insights Tailored to Exporters

Currency markets are driven by global events, interest rates, and trade flows. We help exporters stay ahead with:

• Daily updates and analysis on key currency pairs

• Commentary on trends that affect ZAR strength

• Regular reviews to adjust your approach as markets shift

With this insight, you can confidently navigate rate volatility and convert at the best moments.

5. Digital Tools for Simpler, Smarter Forex Management

We integrate forex strategy into your business operations:

• Online platform for quick, auditable execution

• Reporting dashboards with deal history and rate benchmarks

• ERP and finance system integration (if needed)

This removes admin headaches while helping you secure the best forex rates every time.
