New foreign exchange service launched on TheBusinessDesk.com

TheBusinessDesk.com has today launched a new service offering the latest foreign exchange prices for its growing audience of readers.

The service, in association with bank Lloyds TSB, will see the value of the pound against the world’s key currencies – the dollar, euro and yen – listed in a new dedicated section on our homepage.

Thanks to the latest technology used in Lloyds TSB’s global foreign exchange operations, the prices will be updated every few minutes.

The service will allow our readers – who now number more than 30,000 across Yorkshire and the North West – to not only keep in touch with the latest regional business news but also keep tabs on the value of sterling against the world’s key currencies.

David Parkin, Editor of TheBusinessDesk.com, said: “Readers are now only one click away from Lloyds TSB’s full range of foreign exchange products.

“The tailored service is supported by research, online trading and back office execution and the bank is rated Aa3 by Moody’s, making it one of the strongest market counterparties in the world.

“It trades more than 120 currency pairs and operates a 24-hour London-based dealing room to ensure global coverage.”
