Treasury and Investment services
Bank Millennium as part of its business conducted by the Treasury Department enables the Bank’s Clients to access a broad portfolio of financial instruments: spot exchange transactions, deposit products, instruments for managing exchange rate risk (fx forward, fx swap, options) and interest rate risk management instruments (FRA, IRS, CIRS transactions).
The solutions offered by the Bank allow both exporters and importers to hedge the exchange rate risk, and by the same token perform a correct calculation of costs and prices. Clients also have the possibility of hedging the risk of financial result deterioration due to adverse fluctuations in market interest rates in future – the proposed solutions enable both to establish fixed interest cost or income - and do not require the making of changes in the already functioning credit or leasing agreements.
In 2014 the Treasury Department continued its steps connected with active sales of the Millennium Forex Trader platform (for the first time – starting from 2014 - integrated with the Millenet online banking system), which is used by Corporate Banking Clients to conclude on their own spot and forward transactions and currency swap transactions. At year-end 2014 the Bank’s platform was actively used by almost 1500 Clients.
Bank Millennium is the market’s leading financial institution in structured products offered to Retail and Prestige Clients.
