Orlando, Florida – Currency Exchange International, Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX:CXI.S) (TSX:CXI.WT.S), is pleased to announce the execution of an agreement with Boston-based Eastern Bank to begin providing foreign currency services on December 3, 2012.
The agreement with Eastern Bank, the largest independent, mutually owned bank in New England, provides foreign currency service to the branch network of more than 90 locations in Massachusetts, including 16 foreign currency inventories placed on consignment. The foreign currency inventory, generally consisting of Euros, U.K. Pounds, Japanese Yen, and both Australian and Canadian Dollars, is available for immediate purchase by account holders and non-account holders affording customers the convenience of same-day currency exchange at the bank. All other foreign currencies sold to customers, of the more than 80 offered in total, can be exchanged at these locations with a one to two day turnaround.
The relationship provides Eastern Bank with the Company’s proprietary web-based software, CEIFX, with foreign exchange processing, inventory management, and customer support capabilities to fulfill the bank customer’s currency exchange needs quickly and securely, while remaining compliant to all federal regulations.
Randolph Pinna, President and CEO of CXI described the agreement with Eastern Bank as, “a great addition to CXI’s and Eastern Bank’s offering in the New England area. Eastern Bank, with multiple branches having inventory on hand, will provide an immediate service to customers at rates much better than those normally provided at airports or other known alternatives. CXI is proud to have a relationship with such a well-run bank.”
