Federal Bank and UAE Exchange jointly launches ‘ FED FLASH’ instant remittance ‎to Accounts

Federal Bank, the powerful contender in the Indian banking sector and UAE Exchange, the ‎leading global remittance and foreign exchange brand, today jointly launched an ambitious new ‎product FED FLASH which is deemed to usher in a new phase in remitting to bank accounts.FED ‎FLASH, as the name signifies, is a real-time account credit product, which significantly reduces ‎lead time by taking on conventional methods of remittance. The prodigious product was unveiled ‎at a grand event held in Kochi, attended by Mr. Shyam Srinivasan MD & CEO of Federal Bank ‎and Mr. Sudhir Kumar Shetty, COO, Global operations, UAE Exchange among other senior ‎officials from both institutions and other invitees.‎

FED FLASH enables Federal Bank customers to remit money real-time into to their accounts ‎through any of the UAE Exchange branches overseas, to all branches of Federal Bank covering ‎the length and breadth of India. A significant feature of this product is that it not only credits the ‎account in minutes, but also completes its product cycle in a fully automated environment. The ‎moment the account is credited, the remitter shall receive an SMS in his mobile and at the same ‎time the beneficiary in India too gets the credit confirmation SMS. This feature takes out ‎apprehension both at the ‘Send’ and ‘Receive’ sides of remittance, and saves on follow-up costs

Speaking on the occasion, Mr.Surendran, Dy. General Manager, International Banking ‎Department of Federal Bank said “FED FLASH brings to the fore, the spirit of more than three ‎decades of global remittance leadership of UAE Exchange now present across 23 countries ‎worldwide, and the capabilities of Federal Bank in the Indian banking scenario, and symbolizes ‎the strong partnership between the two financial brands which benefits millions of customers ‎every year. Trust, which customers have invested on both the brands, will be reinforced further ‎with an innovative product like FED FLASH, which would be the new face for remittance to India.”‎

Mr. Pramod Manghat, the Vice President, Global Operations, UAE Exchange added “Remittance ‎has evolved quite a bit from the earlier days when the remitter had to wait for days together to be ‎convinced that the designated account has been credited, which involved many ISD calls too. ‎Technology has ensured that the aspirations of remitters were well met, with several product ‎innovations which has helped cut down on the lead time for account credit, and minimizing the ‎anxiety of the remitter.FED FLASH is the latest of the products the technology has to offer to the ‎remitters who want to send money to Federal Bank accounts in India, who can rest assured that ‎the beneficiary account is credited immediately when he does a transaction in a UAE Exchange ‎branch anywhere.FED FLASH indeed would be the next dimension of remittance technology.”‎
