Currency Exchange International, Corp. (TSX:CXI)(OTCBB:CURN), is pleased to
announce that it has executed an agreement with First American Bank to
reestablish the bank's foreign currency exchange services.
The agreement, executed in April, establishes CXI as First American Bank's
foreign banknote vendor. The Chicago based bank, with nearly 50 area locations,
utilizes the CXI's proprietary software, CEIFX, to fulfill the process. Prior to
the agreement, First American Bank had not provided foreign currency exchange
for its customers in more than five years.
Utilizing CEIFX allows the bank to access buying and selling more than 80
foreign currencies, full reporting functionality, and a customer support
structure to fulfill the bank customer's currency exchange needs quickly and
securely, while remaining compliant with all federal regulations.
"CXI has made the foreign currency program a turnkey process from training to
deployment, the program created no disruption to our normal activity. It is
great to have such a provider, allowing us to expand our client services in a
way our customers can appreciate as well as create a new line of revenue for the
bank," Adelbert Spaan, Executive Vice-President of First American Bank said.
