- Mid-market rates are indicative only. Actual rates from brokers and banks include spreads, transfer fees, and intermediary bank charges.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results. Forecast horizons are model-based projections, not promises.
- Counterparty risk. Funds in transit are subject to provider solvency and regulatory oversight; check FSCS/SIPC coverage limits.
