CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB) MARCH 15, 2021
Finzly, a fintech provider of modern banking applications for payments, foreign exchange, trade finance and digital account opening, announced that Lancaster, Pa.-based Fulton Bank, N.A. ($26 billion in assets) has gained significant operational efficiencies in its foreign exchange initiatives through the use of Finzly's FX STAR and EXIM STAR solutions.
"We recognized Finzly as a proven provider that understands the unique business needs of regional financial institutions," said Amy Sahm, SVP and Manager, International for Fulton Bank. "Through the implementation of their user-friendly platform, our bank has been able to achieve better standard functionality across the board - from improved access to reports and confirming trades, to upgrades in investigation and reconciliation capabilities."
Leveraging open APIs and integrating with existing core technology, FX STAR enables Fulton Bank customers to execute foreign currency transactions via a secure portal at their convenience, utilize multi-currency accounts to purchase foreign currencies in bulk, and initiate payments. Operationally, the bank can self-administer its internal users, manage permissions and set limits, and Fulton Bank gains additional efficiencies through the reduction of incoming support calls, emails and texts. Finzly's EXIM STAR is an international trade finance solution that helps the bank more securely and efficiently manage the entire transaction lifecycle of commercial letters of credit, standby letters of credit, and documentary collections.
International trade and foreign exchange can be a complex business for financial institutions of any size to manage successfully. With one integration to the core, our FX STAR and EXIM STAR solutions help institutions like Fulton Bank to more efficiently, securely and cost-effectively meet the needs of their customers.
