BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwired - April 12, 2017) - Cambridge Global Payments ("Cambridge"), and Balance Advisory ("Balance") are pleased to announce they have entered into a strategic alliance agreement. The agreement includes Cambridge serving as the Official and Preferred International Payments Provider for Balance and associated entities, with responsibility for the fulfilment of corporate foreign exchange services. In addition, Balance has agreed to promote Cambridge's suite of solutions to their clients and business networks globally.

Cambridge delivers competitive, highly scalable and global solutions to parties who either pay international suppliers, have receivables from overseas clients, manage cross-border inter-company transactions, or need risk management solutions to minimise the impact of currency movements to their bottom line.

"Cambridge's in-depth knowledge and expertise in managing many international, and often complicated, financial transactions sets them apart -- especially when time-sensitive payments and on-demand delivery are a must," said Balance Partner Michael Ryan. "We are excited to use Cambridge for our own international transactions and introduce them to our business networks as they continue to expand their presence in the Asia Pacific Region. Their commitment to excellence reflects the high standards we expect and we look forward to this partnership."

"We are extremely honoured and excited to be selected as the Official and Preferred International Payments Provider for Balance. With their global relationships, strength in the infrastructure sector and advisory capability in foreign direct investment, this partnership is a strategic fit for Cambridge," said Fernando Pacheco, Regional Head of Enterprise Solutions APAC, Cambridge Global Payments.
