Fixed FX Hedge Strategy for End Customers
This path activates a fixed FX hedge strategy for end customers.
It enables a platform to offer a predefined, customer-facing FX hedging product under its own brand, based on a deterministic model with no configuration or strategy selection required at activation.
This path is designed as a controlled entry point for launching customer FX hedging capabilities without introducing product design decisions, policy management, or operational complexity.
Prerequisites
This path can be started only if all of the following conditions are met:
- The platform operates as B2B2X, serving end customers and owning the customer experience.
- The platform has observable customer FX exposure generated by existing balances, trades, pricing, or contractual commitments.
- The platform is legally permitted to offer FX hedging products to end customers in at least one jurisdiction.
- The platform accepts that Stage 1 uses a single predefined hedge model with no customer or platform configuration.
- The platform supports API-based integration. No UI design or strategy selection is required in Stage 1.
If any prerequisite is not met, this path should not be started.Stage 1 – Fast-Track Scope
