Foreign exchange transactions.

A bridge currency is a currency that is used as an intermediate step in an exchange between two currencies for which:

  • There is no foreign exchange rate readily available; or
  • The foreign exchange rate is unfavourable.


The United States dollar (USD) is often used as a bridge currency.
