Obligation to transact
You can be obligated to transact when it would be favourable to transact at the prevailing Spot Rate.
Upfront premium
An upfront premium is payable when entering into a Vanilla Option. This premium is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the Option.

Options are high-risk investment products that involve significant risk of loss and are not suitable for everyone. This means you might incur benefits but also costs while using investment products. For more information, read our Product & Risk disclosure document
