 Offer

Use

The Offer function allows you to group all the quotations from different banks that are made prior to concluding a foreign exchange or money market transaction together with a reference and store them in the system. In doing this, the system ranks the offers (for example, in the case of a forex purchase, the lowest rate has the highest valuation). Saving the offers and transaction data from different competitors allows you to analyze the quality and competitiveness of the prices of individual business partners, select the best offer, and use it to conclude a contract.

Features

You can use the Offer function in the Money Market area for fixed term deposits and in the Foreign Exchange area for spot exchange transactions and forward exchange transactions to create, execute, and display offers. You can then create a contract directly for the selected offer.
