Interbank FX Named as Finalist in 2010 American Business Awards(SM)

8th Annual Stevie® Awards Will Be Presented on June 21 in New York City

SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwire - May 14, 2010) -  Interbank FX,(www.ibfx.com), a global provider of online off-exchange retail foreign currency (Forex/FX) trading, was named a Finalist today in the Chairman of the Year category in The 2010 American Business Awards.

The American Business Awards are the nation's premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit entries -- public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. 

Todd Crosland, chairman and president of Interbank FX, founded the online brokerage firm at the end of 2001 to suit his needs as an individual investor in the Forex market. From humble beginnings, Interbank FX has grown into a thriving global enterprise, serving more than 35,000 clients in over 140 countries around the world. Despite such growth and global success, Crosland never originally envisioned offering the company's proprietary Forex trading technology to retail traders.

"I'm extremely honored to be recognized by the notable American Business Awards this year, especially in a time of immense company expansion," said Crosland. "This year alone we plan to open the doors of our sister company in the UK as well as another entity in Australia. We feel this is a direct result of our transparent business model and the over 175 diligent individuals we employ."

The American Business Awards saw more than 2,700 entries from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry around the world. Entries were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories, including Most Innovative Company of the Year, Management Team of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year, and Corporate Environmental Responsibility Program of the Year. Interbank FX will be competing for Chairman of the Year within the Management category.

"We are proud to acknowledge Todd in establishing a company that is not only rock-solid, but operates using integrity and overall transparency -- both internally and in interaction with our customers," said Jon Pexton, chief financial officer of Interbank FX. "It is critical that our customers have absolute trust in the strength of our offerings, and Todd has done an excellent job of helping us to achieve that high goal."

Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and specialized final judging committees will select Stevie Award winners from among Finalists in final judging that will continue through May 28. Finalists were chosen by business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging in April and May.
