These Exchange Rate Boards are remarkably easy to use and can either be updated through data entered via an infra-red remote keypad or through a computer. The computer of course can also be set to receive the rates live as they change and automatically update the board.
The frequency with which the rates are updated is up to the individual bureau. Most banks and travel
centers may wish to update the board only once a day, while businesses trading large sums of money may wish to display the latest live rates.
Exchange Rate Boards are connected to a local power supply and can switch on and off automatically at pre-programmed times. The specially used “anti-reflective acrylic” allows the displays to be read clearly by passers-by, even through a shop window on a sunny day. The Exchange Rate Boards, can be placed anywhere. Mounting is normally on the wall or suspension in a window. Optional stands are often available for floor standing.
Most Exchange Rate Boards can display the rates of up to 24 currencies, though these boards can be custom-made, and the number of columns and rows can be tailored to suit the customer’s needs. The advent of the Euro though, has reduced the number of rates needing to be displayed. Many manufacturers even offer an additional feature of a single line moving message display on which additional financial or promotional information can be streamed in.
Most importantly, these Exchange Rate Boards are so easy to set up, they allow the outlet to simply and clearly present the latest exchange rates to potential customers.
The boards are usually priced in the range of £500-2000 depending on the number of currencies, columns and personalized corporate artwork required.
