When booking a deal that is a forward contract (i.e. it has a value date of more than two business days), you will be given the option of choosing an early take-up date. This means you are creating a time frame beginning at the early take up date and ending on the payment date during which you can make your payment. If you choose to enter this date, this means you can make a payment earlier than the deal payment date. When you choose a deal to display in the Deals panel, you will be able to see if ‘Early Take-Up’ applies and the date where this is available.

If you have permission to deal, you can book forward contracts up to a value date of 12 months into the future.
