International currencies are exchanged for many reasons. These exchanges help to balance the world economy. International currencies also may be exchanged as part of the operational needs of a multi-national company. These exchanges are used to grow wealth by taking advantage of fluctuations in the various currencies. Use these tips to help you learn how to exchange currency online.

Steps

  1. Evaluate your goal in entering the online currency exchange markets. The balancing of the world economy and moving the assets of a multi-national corporation are the goals of relatively few people. Most have the goal of profiting from currency exchanges by speculating on the likelihood of various currencies to strengthen or weaken.
  2. Determine how you will perform your international currency exchanges. All services can be found on the Internet.
    • Select an online broker. Brokers will act as your agent. A broker will seek the best market price available, which will usually be a known cost above the best price made available to large banks and multi-national corporations. The broker will charge a commission or mark up.
    • Decide on an online dealer. Dealers are sometimes referred to as market makers. Dealers will offer a price based on their own research. This price will be presented to the customer as a non negotiable price. The profit for the dealer has already been worked in to the price offered by the dealer.
    • Obtain a multi-currency account with a bank or financial institution and save on dealer commissions. There are numerous companies that offer multi-currency accounts and currency exchange services.
  3. Create a personal currency tracking tool. Decide which currencies you might be interested in exchanging online and chart their movement against each other. The daily exchange rate given by the London market at noon local time is the generally accepted standard. Many free tools are available on the Internet to assist you with this.
  4. Learn the language of online international currency exchange.
    • Determine the 3 letter code that designates each currency in online trading. For example USD stands for the United States dollar, while CHF stands for the Swiss Franc.
    • Learn to create the 6-letter sequences used for online international currency exchange. Each sequence begins with the 3-letter code of the currency being purchased and ends with the 3-letter code of the currency being exchanged. For example, USDCHF at 0.88 means that 1 United States dollar requires 0.88 Swiss francs to purchase.
  5. Decide if you wish to exchange foreign currency online for short-term gain or for a long-term investment.
    • Choose an online broker or dealer that will execute trades immediately on demand. Short-term gain concerns currency movements over a matter of the next few days and funds must be moved quickly.
    • Select a more traditional online broker or dealer. They will execute the trades that you specify, while taking some research time to offer you the best possible rate. It will be up to you to determine which trades will be to your long-term benefit.
    • Determine long-term trends with your tracking tool. Keep track of the stability of governments, the balance of payments, the international credit ratings, and the national assets being held by each of the countries whose currency you are tracking. These factors traditionally drive the long-term performance of the currency of that country.

Tips

  • As with the stock market, you could make money and you could lose money exchanging currency online. Decide how much risk you are willing to take.
  • The foreign currency exchange markets are unregulated. There is no international governing body of the system. American companies involved in foreign currency exchange must meet a specific set of standards, and therefore, may be more trustworthy than companies in other countries.
  • If you wish to get some currency before a trip to a foreign country, a dealer will sell you as much as you need and make arrangements to have it shipped to you. There will be a charge for shipping.
