March 12, 2013

Toronto, Canada – Currency Exchange International, Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX:CXI.S; CXI.WT.S), is pleased to announce that restrictions imposed pursuant to Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Reg S”), on certain common shares issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and currently trading under the symbol “CXI.S”, expired on March 9, 2013.

The presently listed common shares of the Company which are subject to certain restrictions under Reg S will be delisted on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 and in substitution thereof an equal number of common shares will be listed on the TSX under the symbol “CXI” and posted for trading at the opening of business on such date thereby permitting residents of the United States to trade the common shares of the Company through brokers in the United States that have access to the trading facilities of the TSX. In addition, the common shares are quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “CURN”.  The “CXI.S” trading symbol will be discontinued.

Holders of Reg S common shares need not take any action in order to receive the common shares to which they are entitled.

The Company does not intend to make application to remove the restrictions on the trading of the issued and outstanding common share purchase warrants (“Warrants”). Therefore the Warrants will continue trading under the current symbol of “CXI.WT.S” with the restrictions pursuant to Regulation S until the expiry time of the Warrants of 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on September 9, 2013.
