CXI Expands Straight-Through-Processing of International Payments Solutions For Financial Institutions

TORONTO, July 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Currency Exchange International, Corp. (TSX:CXI) (OTCBB:CURN), a full service foreign exchange technology and services provider, is pleased to announce a new international payments integration with WireXchange^®, a wire transfer solution from financial services technology provider Fiserv. The integration provides financial institutions enhanced automation through an efficient end-to-end payment process supported by an experienced, foreign exchange specialist. The integration has officially launched and is now available to financial institutions in the United States.

Financial institutions are now able to streamline their international payments process through WireXchange, while benefiting from CXI’s world-class customer service, pricing, and full suite of foreign exchange solutions. The integration into WireXchange helps financial institutions deliver the necessary competitive advantage of speed and service through operational efficiencies during a time when the digital payments industry is evolving to embrace such ideals.

"Several of CXI’s existing financial institution customers for foreign banknotes and cheques are using WireXchange, and have expressed interest in doing international wire payments with CXI now that it has completed its integration with Fiserv. Additionally, we understand there are many other banks dealing with the unique challenges presented by managing their various international payment programs. With CXI’s leading technology and customer service, it makes it compelling for banks to switch to CXI to benefit from its consultative and customized customer relationship process," said Randolph Pinna, Chief Executive Officer of CXI.

Financial institutions have traditionally provided foreign exchange and international services through multiple bank relationships that also compete for the same business within their markets. CXI enables financial institutions to have all of their international services with one provider that does not compete with the financial institution for their clients and creates client-focused relationships with a suite of offerings including foreign currency banknotes, foreign cheque clearing, and international payments. The relationship between CXI and Fiserv facilitates a seamless and automated international payments processing that is available to more financial institutions than ever before.
