The tab includes the following sub-tabs:

  • Client Account
  • Incoming Payments

The Client Account sub-tab allows you to configure the currencies that clients can use when creating client accounts by selecting either All or Selected.

The Incoming Payments and Outgoing Payments sub-tabs allow you to configure the currencies permitted for payment transactions by selecting All or Selected, together with the Include or Exclude availability settings.

Client Account

The Client Account sub-tab allows you to define the currencies that a client is permitted to use when creating client accounts.

The following controls are available:

All - This option is selected by default when a client is created. It allows the client to create accounts in all active currencies maintained under General Ledger → Settings → Currency. When this option is selected, the Add and Delete buttons are disabled.

Selected - This option allows you to specify the currencies that the client is permitted to use when creating client accounts. When Selected is chosen, the Add and Delete buttons are enabled, and only the currencies added to the grid are allowed for client account creation.

Aura validates the configured allowed currencies during client account creation. If a user attempts to create a client account in a currency that is not included in the Allowed Currencies - Client Account list, the account creation is blocked.

Selected - Allows you to specify the currencies to be used for payment transactions. When Selected is chosen, the Add and Delete buttons are enabled, allowing you to maintain the list of currencies.

The Include / Exclude field determines how the configured currencies are applied.

Include - Permits payment transactions only for the configured currencies. If All is selected, all active currencies are permitted.

Exclude - Restricts payment transactions for the configured currencies. If All is selected, no currencies are permitted.

Aura validates payment transactions based on the configured Currency Selection and Availability settings.

Incoming Payments:

The currency of an incoming payment is validated against the configuration maintained in the Incoming Payments sub-tab. If the payment currency is not permitted based on the configured settings, the payment is rejected.

This validation applies only to incoming payments into the client's account. It does not apply to internal or inward client transfers between the client's own accounts.

Outgoing Payments:

The currency of an outgoing payment is validated against the configuration maintained in the Outgoing Payments sub-tab. If the payment currency is not permitted based on the configured settings, the payment is rejected.

This validation applies only to external payments initiated from the client's account. It does not apply to internal transfers or inter-account movements within the same client.

FX Spread

The FX Spread tab allows you to define custom foreign exchange spreads for a specific client. These spreads override Aura-defined spreads maintained under Currency Exchanges Rates , giving banks the flexibility to assign preferential or risk-based spreads for specific clients and currency pairs.

This is especially useful when certain clients require custom margins for currency conversion, based on business agreements or risk management policies.

To add a new FX Spread,

1. Access Client Account page and click on FX Spread tab. As soon as the account is created, this tab will show no records, as there are no spread attached to the account.

The Add button is enabled for all users, regardless of record status. However, if multiple Pending records exist, they will not be considered during currency conversion. Only the latest Approved record that is effective as of the current booking date-time will be used.

Impact of Approved FX Spread on Transactions

When you maintain and approve an FX Spread under a client, Aura applies it during transaction processing.

If an approved FX Spread exists for the specified Currency Pair and Rate Type, Aura automatically uses it in preference to the default Currency Rates. The system always selects the most recent approved record where the Effective By date is less than or equal to the current date and time. This ensures that the negotiated FX Spread for the client is reflected in real-time transactions.

If no client-specific FX Spread exists (or if there are no effective and approved records), Aura falls back to the default Currency Rates maintained under Admin → Currency Rates.

This behaviour directly impacts all transactions involving currency conversion, including Forex Contracts, Loan Disbursements, and similar modules, by ensuring that client-negociated terms are honored when available.
