CITI'S - WORLDLINK CURRENCY PAYMENT CAPABILITIES

IRAQI DINAR
WorldLink(R) Payment Services has been making IQD payments on behalf of selected clients since 2006 adding to the exotic currencies suite. With the success established over five years, WorldLink has differentiated itself by having local expertise and strong banking relationships in Iraq. WorldLink is now offering IQD payments as a fully developed and proven offering to all relevant WorldLink clients.
While the US Dollar remains a widely accepted currency in Iraq, Citi's cross-border payments specialists anticipate that IQD payments will gain an increasing foothold in support of foreign direct investments.
"Making payments into new countries doesn't have to be risky or intimidating for clients; the liberalization of markets especially those in the Middle East and Africa are going to undoubtedly change the global economy in the near future. Providing payment options in local currencies is just one step towards building solutions for our clients looking to do business or invest further in these markets." said, Michael Vallance, Global Head of WorldLink(R) Payment Services at Citi.
To remain focused on exotic currencies with a view to further enhancements, WorldLink Payment Services has expanded its network to fully optimize the current exotic currency offering. This expansion will see a greater capacity for current exotic currencies and will provide the opportunity in the future to bring to market new currency offerings
Vallance continued, "The payments landscape is changing rapidly and we are watching governments realize the power of their local currencies. It has become imperative to prepare as the shift from the traditional world currencies is being hedged by rising local currency payments. Adding capabilities to bolster cross-border payments capabilities in exotic foreign currencies is a necessary step, not just for Citi, but for any payments provider who is looking to keep pace with expanding client needs and globalization."
