Pros

The design of Currency Xchanger was very well thought through, which is very important for currency businesses who will be entering multiple transactions into the system everyday.

The user interface is very intuitive and aesthetically pleasing, which makes the software enjoyable to use. It has all the features that a currency business needs, yet it is not overloaded with unnecessary features. For such a powerful piece of software, you don't feel overwhelmed when you sit down to learn it. The whole experience Clear View provides makes it as simple as possible to implement such a comprehensive software solution, from the training to the support.

Currency Xchanger empowers any currency-based business to handle regulatory requirements, accounting, customer relationship management and day-to-day transactions as simply and effectively as possible.

Cons

There is no quick download off the website and it is a time consuming process to install the product on a Mac.

Overall

For any business dealing with currency that needs of simple piece of software with robust capabilities, I would highly recommend the Currency Xchanger product.

Pros

It is very straight forward and simple to use yet complex enough to cover all your businesses needs and wants.
The website is very informative and the support I received was phenomenal and professional.
I would certainly recommend to other business owners.

Cons

In my experience I have yet to find any cons.

Overall

I would certainly recommend to other business owners.

Pros

- It's very to use
- the facility of cheque printing

- the ability to restrict changing the rate for some users

Cons

Overall

For sure i would recommend this software. I haven't found any problem with the software. I have been using it since 8 months ago.

Pros

- Implementation was short done in less than 2 hours
- it's very easy to use and everything self-explanatory
- it's colorful and things can be done quite fast
- rates can be updated automatically
- it's great the one can check the inventory

Cons

The program seems to have problem with Windows 7, so we had to reinstall Vista. Once Vista was installed the system was faster.
- I want to be able to send the report to FINTRAC right from the program
- I want to have the VISA and MasterCard as a method payment istead of an subledger account
- Send a booking by email to the customer right with a button
- the P&L works based on Inception to Date; I would rather have a periodic P&L

Overall

I very highly recommend the program.

Pros

- This software has a lot of features and much more complete compared to our previous system.

- This software can handle all different aspect of the business (including inventory, accounts, expenses, wires).

- The system is very flexible.

Cons

- I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but It happened only twice that a transaction was not recorded. It may be due to the system error during save or a local problem on the computer. This problem has not happened anymore, and we cannot reproduce the problem.

Overall

We appreciate the system and its features and would certainly recommend the system to other Foreign Exchange Businesses, as we have already done in the past.

Pros

This is the only currency software I used and so far I like it. It is quite easy to use. We haven't had any major issues with the software since we purchased it last year.

Cons

The reports could be improved. Lots of report would have been better to print as exactly seen on the screen. Some cities are not in the list of North american cities, even though it's possible to add the city but it would have been better if some cities were there.

Overall

I recommend this software to other foreign exchange bureaus. If I want to open my own foreign exchange software I will certainly consider this software.

Pros

The more we use the system, the more we appreciate its features.

Cons

The system was difficult to learn in the beginning.
The accounting features and reports can be improved. Our accountant was skeptical to use this system at first, but now he said that he can rely on all the reports.

The initial price is a bit steep but I guess it is well worth the investment.

Pros

After using a multimillion dollar custom designed point of sale system for many years, I anticpated it would be very difficult to find a replacement until I came across the Clear View Currency Exchanger System.

Beginning with the ease of the installation process continuing through a year of ongoing training, it has been a pleasure to work with such as professional organization.

The system is extremely user freindly, and has many advanced features necessary to capture all of our auditing and compliance needs.

Tiran has been extemely helpful in customizing the system to meet all of our unique requests for our business.

One of the features we find very useful is the ease in which you can create specific accounts to meet you individual business needs. Another is the ability to retain repeat customer information to use for future transactions. In addition, this feature may be used as a marketing tool by capturing specific spending patterns throughout the year.

Cons

As with all new systems, there are many features of the system that we are just beginning to know exist, and when we find we are accustomed to something that Clear View does not have, or can not do, Tiran is there to see if there is a way to incorporate it into the system.

Overall

I stongly recommend the system to anyone in the foreign currency retail sales business such as travel agencies, credit unions, money service businesses, or check cashing establishments

Pros

Currency Exchanger is very reliable, user friendly and expensive softwear but its worth it. since we bought the system in 2004 we saved 35 percent on our accounting and book keeping cost every year also it helped us alot in our compliance program,and record keeping. every month or so there are new updates and modifications from the developer,
customer support is always there to solve problems and answer questions.

Cons

exchange rate( rate panel ) update is the only section of the softwear that is not working properly, there are days that we dont get an update on the exchange rates sometimes for more than 2 hours, clear view system is working on the issue and hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Overall

I recomend the softwear to all currency exchange dealers regardless of the size and the volume of their company, even if you are using a different softwear and happy with it, see the demo you will be surprised.

Pros

It was very customised programe.
and help was available extremly fast.

Cons

Nothing major

Overall

It is well researched programe, and can be customised for your needs easily.

Pros

Friendly interface and easy to use;
Integrate with accounting, currency exchange, customer management, booking system, FINTRAC requirement;
Well to handle multi-currency: automatic or manually update rate, set my own commission policy;
So easy to manage inventory, average cost of each currency, profit or loss;
Clearly print invoice, cheques, transaction journal, account details.

Cons

Specially, I like it the most is the FINTRAC function, I got easily past the examination from the FINTRAC officers last month, because of this software manage the requirement very well, and totally in compliance with the law requirement, i.e. customer requirement, risk assessment, large cash report, suspicious remark, etc, it will pop up a warning msg if you missed customer???s address, occupation etc. make my job much easier.

Overall

Easy to manage my FX business, no headache, really help me a lot.

It is an excellent program for us

Overall

I recommend you the system

It is very helpful to be conected with real time spot markets.
Has almost every currncy uploaded.
Gives real time information.
The customer service is outstanding

Cons

The P&L reports are not as good as they could be.
It does not aloud to upload rates in batches.

Overall

We do really recomend this product, it has gave us the tools we were looking for.

Pros

We have been using CurrencyXchanger since January 2008. It was sluggish to get familiar with the different icons (functions) at first but once they are learned and understood, it became very easy to use. Functions are extremely user-friendly once you get to apply them in a business environment. The system is also very flexible and can be adapted to any type of currency exchange business (based on volume or type of business). Before purchasing this product we examined various other products on the market but none had the flexibility of this one. Also the friendly customer support is a major plus

Cons

There are too many functions to learn at once without a manual. The system can be used quickly for the basic transactions (buy sell) but the more complex functions (ex., analysis of sales per currency) are difficult to understand and adopt without a manual or hands-on training.

Overall

we recommend this product

Pros

This software has everything necessary for a currency exchange/financial institute to run its company. It covers all aspects of the business, from everyday invoices to reconciliation for all of the company accounts. Having this software has been a great asset since our company has not needed to buy any other software for our other applications. Also this software has the ability to filter and export any information necessary to another program, which is also another plus.

Cons

The eWire money remittance technology has not been updated for a while and the online banking could be improved.

Overall

Overall this software is a great asset for our company, there is no reason a currency exchange/financial institute should not have this software in all their locations. After the company has repaired the minor bugs it currently has I could say that this software has reached excellence.

Pros

-Very fast and easy
-Very accurate

Cons

-Takes time to update currencies

Overall

I would recommend it for anybody who does any type of currency trading.
