This course provides practical, branch-level insight into real-world foreign exchange management.

Learners gain applied knowledge of TT rates, bill margins, forward rate formulas, and interest computation based on 360-day conventions.

It is ideal for banking professionals, audit trainees, finance students, and anyone seeking hands-on understanding of foreign exchange operations and trade finance fundamentals.

This module introduces the foundational concepts of foreign exchange operations in bank branches, including the role of banks in currency exchange, operational procedures for handling foreign currency notes and traveller’s cheques, customer verification requirements, documentation standards, and risk control measures to safeguard bank interests.
