Currensee has reached trading volumes of more than $30 billion, with Currensee traders from over 130 countries joining the social network and close to 7% of the member community joining from the UK. This milestone is a significant achievement for the company and is a strategic path toward building the business outside the United States.

Currensee brings trust and transparency to Forex trading by enabling members of its trader network to see each other's actual trades and positions, trading strategies and performance to make more informed trade decisions. The United Kingdom is a key market for Currensee as trading in London accounts for $1.36 trillion of the $3.98 trillion, or 34.1%, of the daily global turnover in foreign exchange, making London by far the global centre for foreign exchange.

The opening of the Currensee UK office follows the company's recent approval by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), the UK financial services regulator, which enables Currensee to introduce customers to FSA-regulated brokers such as FXCM UK, Alpari UK and Forex.com. Currensee UK will be led by managing director Steve Winters, who joined Currensee as director of business development in 2009. Winters led the institutional sales efforts and was one of the original employees of GFT Global Markets UK Ltd., the UK arm of US currency dealer, Global Forex Trading.

"I've worked with some of the top Forex brokers over the past ten years and came to Currensee because of their cutting-edge offering for traders, investors and brokers," said Winters. "The Forex opportunity in the UK and Europe is explosive and Currensee brings just the products and services this growing market needs."

Currensee Limited is the first step in the Currensee strategic international expansion plan, fueled by the additional Series B financing (http://www.currensee.com/about-us/news-events/currensee-announces-new-investor-raises-total-to-8.8-million), which was announced earlier this year. Currensee investors include North Bridge Venture Partners, Egan Managed Capital and Vernon & Park Capital.

"The launch of our UK office is a tremendous milestone for Currensee, setting a course for international expansion that will make our services more easily accessible to traders across the globe," said Currensee CEO Dave Lemont. "Our FSA authorization is an exciting recognition of our commitment to bringing trust and transparency to Forex trading and gives us the ability to work with the most trusted international brokers."
