February 3, 2016 Toronto, Ontario – Currency Exchange International, Corp. (TSX:CXI) (OTCBB:CURN), is pleased to announce 11 new business relationships with various financial institutions in Canada and the U.S., through CXI directly or its Canadian subsidiary Currency Exchange International Canada Corp., for the provision of foreign currency banknote services. These relationships will add over 1,500 transacting locations to CXI and CXI Canada, a 15% increase in transacting locations since CXI’s year-end report. All locations are expected to be fully operational before the end of Q3.

The transacting locations added through these new relationships span 22 states in the U.S. and 3 provinces in Canada, where approximately half are with one Canadian financial institution.  Randolph Pinna, President and CEO of CXI commented, “We are very pleased and honoured to be selected as a primary vendor for foreign currency services to all of these well-established, long standing financial institutions. The consumers in their marketplace will now enjoy enhanced foreign currency services in the communities they serve.” 

CXI provides all of its customers with access to CXI’s proprietary software - CEIFX, banknote processing, foreign inventory management, and related services. CXI is expected to provide its decentralized model, with all transacting locations directly interacting with CXI through the CEIFX software interface. Select locations will also hold foreign currency inventory in stock daily. The foreign currency inventory, generally consisting of Euros, U.K. Pounds, Japanese Yen, Mexican Pesos and some Caribbean currencies is available for immediate purchase by account holders and non-account holders affording customers the convenience of same-day currency exchange at the location.
