Do you have income and expenses in foreign currency?

A currency account ensures you can receive money in a fixed currency, and you decide when you want to exchange it. You can easily pay for a product in the same currency from the currency account. By choosing when the money will be exchanged, you reduce the risk of losing money on the exchange rate. In the internet bank you get a good overview of all incoming and outgoing payments as they’re made.
