New Zealand businesses are now able to incorporate a New Zealand designed currency calculator into their websites, free of charge.

Aim Solutions are one of New Zealand’s internet pioneers.

Their original currency calculator, which has been available since 1997 - ‘early days’ in internet terms, has just been upgraded to include a number of new, useful features.

The updated currency calculator conversions are powered by Elldridge Lynch Foreign Currency Services, another online pioneer. In 1997, Elldridge Lynch were one of the first companies in the world to offer the ability to trade currencies online and have continued to lead the market with their 24hr online trading platform. Jon Speedy, Marketing Manager for Elldridge Lynch, was excited to collaborate with Aim Solutions on the new currency calculator.

He said, “The new currency calculator is a great example of how New Zealand businesses can work together to create relevant solutions for other New Zealand businesses. The free currency calculator allows those who use it to access live currency rates via Elldridge Lynch’s online currency feed.”

Companies who utilise the currency calculator can be assured that they are receiving live, informative and trusted content.

 The new features of the calculator includes 15 minute currency rate updates, and the ability to choose your base currency – on many overseas sites you have to reselect NZ $ each time you use them.

The calculator, which businesses and organisations can add to their web site free of charge, can be integrated to open in a small window over the current open page and is currently used by a wide variety of Kiwi companies ranging from greenhouses and baby products to international travel companies and wedding planners.

Aim Solutions prides itself in providing technologies that link New Zealand with the International marketplace, and the updated currency calculator is a great example of this. http://www.travelplanner.co.nz/currency/calculator.cfm
