Foreign Currency Exchange

Overview

The Foreign Exchange module provides the infrastructure to carry out currency exchanges on behalf of customers —a particularly important feature for platforms that accommodate multiple currencies. This module includes a series of endpoints tailored to the needs of users looking to perform, monitor, and manage asset exchanges for their customers.

Offering functions from quoting to execution, along with detailed tracking mechanisms, the Foreign Exchange module endpoints include:

1. Get Available Currency Pairs: Provides a full list of currency pairs available for exchange.

2. Get Account Details: This endpoint will return available source and destination accounts the customer can choose to do the exchange.

3. Get Quote for Exchange: Provides an estimate for an exchange, detailing the source and destination amount before the actual exchange is executed, ensuring that the customer is informed about the potential transaction.

4. Execute Exchange: Execute the quote exchange using the id received from the quote for exchange.

Overall, the Exchange module is designed to offer a seamless and secure experience for handling the exchange requirements of customers, ensuring that users can manage these operations effectively with great precision and control.
