Currencies Direct Joins Forces With Satyam to Launch "Aurora Enterprise" -Integrated FX and Payment Management System

LONDON, July 10 /PRNewswire/ --     Currencies Direct today announced the deployment of Aurora
Enterprise, an in-house, client/server payment suite developed by Satyam, a
leading global consulting and information technology services company (NYSE:
SAY). Aurora Enterprise enables large and medium-sized organisations to
employ and execute cross-border and international payments without the need
for foreign currency bank accounts or expensive agreements with their banks,
an efficiency that leads to substantial savings in time and money.

"Perhaps more than in any other sector, international banks
are under pressure to reduce costs while increasing the perceived and actual
quality of their services," said Currencies Direct Group Managing Director
Yogesh Shetty. "Aurora Enterprise has all the integrated functionality of a
real-time foreign exchange risk management system, but also features unique
bolt-on technology that can integrate with any third-party payment platform.
As a result, users can easily shop around for the most effective and
efficient global payment network."

In addition to the benefits of a hybrid payment model, Aurora
Enterprise combines foreign exchange-order and third-party settlements with a
single click, a considerable improvement over traditional banking payment
systems. Moreover, it will allow an organisation to leverage its in-country
presence to offer new products and services cost effectively.

"The Board of Directors at Currencies Direct chose Satyam as
it proved to be a natural fit to our technological aspirations, and its
management style of working as a partner rather than a supplier was key. The
collaborative development and deployment plan with Satyam will enable
international banks all over the world to make payments more efficiently and
gives a tremendous boost to our already ambitious plans for marketing our
products globally," said Neil Redcliffe group director - Global Investments,
Currencies Direct.

"International banks and other financial institutions benefit
tremendously by streamlining their processes without disruption," said Dr.
Keshab Panda, the senior vice president, director, and head of Satyam's
European operations. "To arrive at the best possible solution, we worked
closely with Currencies Direct to gain a deep understanding of its business,
as well as that of its clients. Consequently, we were able to quickly
identify opportunities for process and technology improvements, and
incorporate them into Aurora Enterprise, a truly comprehensive solution."

"With the introduction of Aurora Enterprise we are now
scheduled to roll out our unique online proposition early next year, thus
allowing us even greater integration and market acquisition opportunities.
This also accommodates our growth and expansion plans to North America," said
Vince Carere, director of Systems and Product Development at Currencies
Direct.
