CurrencyGuard Guard Pricing

com.currencyguard/guard-pricing

Connects to CurrencyGuard's FX protection API to help payment service providers and SMEs manage currency risk. You get access to live spot and forward rates, can price out FX Guards (their hedging products), calculate settlement dates, and handle the operational details of currency protection without building against their REST API directly. Reach for this when you're building financial tooling that needs real-time forex data or wants to embed FX hedging capabilities, especially if you're working in the payments or treasury management space where automated currency protection matters.
