Cross-border commerce: navigate currency chaos! Foreign exchange (FX) fundamentals: (1) Exchange rates (VND/USD 23,000-24,000 fluctuates daily, GBP/USD, EUR/USD majors, bid-ask spread banks profit 2-5%!), (2) Currency pairs (quote USD/VND = how many VND per 1 USD), (3) Spot vs. forward (spot = immediate exchange, forward = lock rate future date 30/60/90 days hedge risk!), (4) Factors affecting rates (interest rates, inflation, political stability, trade balances, central bank intervention). Payment methods international: (1) Wire transfers (SWIFT interbank $20-50 fee 3-5 days slow!), (2) Payment processors (PayPal, Stripe, Wise/Transferwise faster cheaper 1-2% fees!), (3) Letters of Credit (banks guarantee payment importers/exporters complex expensive), (4) Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, stablecoins USDT instant borderless BUT volatile, regulations unclear!).
Currency hedging strategies: (1) Forward contracts (lock rate eliminate risk BUT lose if moves favorable!), (2) Options (right not obligation pay premium flexibility), (3) Natural hedging (match revenue/costs same currency offset!), (4) Diversification (sell multiple currencies spread risk). Challenges: (1) Volatility (VND depreciate 2-3%/year vs. USD, sudden devaluations crush margins!), (2) Fees compound (payment processor + FX spread + bank fees = 3-8% total!), (3) Timing (weekends, holidays markets closed rate gaps!), (4) Regulations (capital controls Vietnam limit USD holdings, repatriation restrictions).
Real scenarios: Shopify seller Vietnam receives $10K USD PayPal (auto-convert VND lose 4.5%!), exporter shrimp $1M contract USD (forward hedge lock rate protect 3-month delivery!), importer machinery EUR price (monitor rate favorable timing!). Tools: Wise business (cheaper than PayPal 0.4-1.2% transparent!), Revolut business (hold multiple currencies convert spot rate!), banks (HSBC, Citi global networks corporate solutions). Vietnam context: State Bank controls VND/USD bands (±5% prevents wild swings), USD shortage periodic (businesses hoard), black market premiums 2-5%.
