FXecute is INTL FCStone Ltd's proprietary global payments platform that provides clients with a one-stop solution for making payments in more than 175 countries. Clients have access to live currency market rates, and can seamlessly execute payments in more than 140 currencies, which includes the world's roughly 90 exotic currencies used in the developing world.

Additionally, FXecute now enables clients to make payments using the local ACH system, ensuring seamless and less expensive payments
while eliminating execution gridlocks. The Company has onboarded a multitude of its correspondent bank partners in developing countries for ACH functionality in order to provide uninterrupted payment delivery in local currency for those clients sending money to these markets.
Carsten Hils, Global Head of INTL FCStone Ltd's Global Payments Division, commented on today's news, "We are committed to maintaining an open dialogue with our customers and continually improving the services that we offer based directly on their feedback, and the recent enhancements to FXecute directly serve the needs of our major bank clients. Payments technology changes at a rapid pace, and these additions to FXecute ensure that it remains the industry-leading payments execution service for exotic currencies. We have utilized our more than 20 years of experience in providing payments to the developing world, as well as the expertise of our best-in-class information technology team, to provide our customers with an even more efficient, secure, and effective global payments platform."
FXecute allows GPD customers to access the Company's payments capabilities and allows clients to simplify their international funding operations while providing a clear audit trail and analytical reports. The platform provides clients with the intelligence necessary to understand local market conditions, which is critical given that every country has different regulatory requirements that must be met for successful and efficient payments execution. The Company's clients can even process their payrolls through FXecute in local currencies, simplifying their money management processes.
Hils concluded, "FXecute brings efficiency and security to the payments process, and it is unmatched in the scope of markets and currencies that it covers. We are extremely proud to offer clients a comprehensive payments solution via FXecute, and strive to continually improve the platform to ensure that it provides for the needs of an ever-evolving market.
