Global Exchange Group and Elite Renew Efforts to Offer Streamlined International Payment Services to Transnational Law Firms

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20, 2010 – Elite, a Thomson Reuters business, and Global Exchange Group, a division of Fulton Bank, N.A., have renewed their long-standing agreement. As a result, law firms can continue to streamline and expedite the full cycle of international payment processing via the EnhancedFX®-Elite® BridgeSM, which merges the complex process of international cost recovery and bank payment processing.

The international payment processing capabilities of Global Exchange Group, paired with the efficiency of Elite Enterprise and ELITE 3E practice and financial management systems, offer mid-to large-size law firms the ability to integrate financial data into the Elite system. This integration saves on manual entry and multiple keystrokes, eliminates duplicate payments, improves cash flow/management via immediate international invoice payment, and reduces risk.

“One of the biggest growth areas for our clients is increasing international business. We are able to support their complex global payment needs through our partnership with Global Exchange Group,” said Kim Massana, president, Elite. “Our integrated solution has proven to provide tangible benefits for our clients and we are happy to continue our long-standing agreement, which was first established in 1998.”

“We’ve built an intuitive and manageable workflow that enables firms to see tangible time-saving results throughout the international payment process,” said Anthony Loiacono, president of sales and marketing, Global Exchange Group. “As a result, when coupled with the Elite integration, we will give Elite users a business edge over other firms. We’re providing increased efficiency, and are pleased to continue our arrangement with such a highly recognized and respected company.”
