to waste time and money setting up infrastructure.

Features
XigniteCurrencies provides the most sophisticated functionality of any currency
web service available in the market today:
- Support for Every World Currency. Some web services support only 25 or 100
currencies. This can be a business risk as your currency needs may expand as your
business grows. XigniteCurrency supports more than 170 currencies--every world currency
available today. When new currencies are created (it happens more often than you
may believe), those currencies are automatically added to the service.
- Excel Integration. Pull any foreign exchange information right inside your
Excel Spreadsheets at the push of a button. Refresh and update the data in automatically.
- Real-Time Quotes. XigniteCurrencies is linked to dozens of FOREX trading
desks throughout the world. You always get the most accurate, up-to-date information
available when requesting a real-time rate.
- Bid/Ask Information. Currency cross-rates are provided with bid, ask and
mid rates.
- Historical Quotes. You can access historical data for most currency pairs
all the way back to 2000. Additional currency pairs are available on-demand.
- Historical Bid/Ask. Historical bid/ask information is available for traded
pairs back to 1/1/2004.
- "Official" Quotes. Those exchange rates are typically by the central bank
of a given country and are collected once or twice daily. Currently available for
the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
- Currency Converter. You can convert any amount from one currency to the another
inside a single operation.
- Automatic Bridging. If a recent exchange rate is not available for a currency
pair (simply because this pair has not traded recently), XigniteCurrency automatically
calculates the most up-to-date rate by "bridging" the rate using major currencies
like EUR or USD.
- Cross Rate Tables. You can easily obtain all the possible cross-rate possible
among a list of currencies by calling any of the "Table" operations.
- Reports. You can easily list all the cross rate between a given currency
and all the 170 other rates by requesting a Currency Report.
- Currency Charts. You can create fully customizable charts to display historical
exchange rates between currencies. Use those charts to make your web site more appealing.
