forward exchange transaction
Definition
Financial transaction involving the exchange of currency to be completed at a future date. For instance, an individual may exchange the greenback for the yen because the exchange rate is better on a given date, but request that the transaction be completed in the future. Essentially, the individual is able to lock in the current rate to avoid possible changes in the exchange rate in the future.
