Tomorrow, in Budapest, Hungary, Eurogiro's annual Community Meeting
will bring together more than 100 delegates of the Eurogiro network
to share strategies for the development of the money transfer
business throughout the world.

Many payments made in Hungary, and transferred rapidly and reliably
to a beneficiary in another country, are likely to have been carried
by Eurogiro.

"The community is the backbone of Eurogiro and much business is
initiated at the annual member meeting" confirms Michel Stuijt, CEO
of the Copenhagen-based company. According to Mr. Stuijt the payments
business has grown steadily, currently in particular outside Europe.
Eurogiro has continuously expanded its member base throughout the
world, providing cost efficient and flexible payment services.
Eurogiro members provide reach for payments to both urban and rural
customers alike."

Eurogiro manages its own network and links to SWIFT and carries any
type of secure and cost efficient payment, be they account transfers
and cash payments, workers' remittances, commercial payments, public
payments etc. and is ready for payments for mobiles and cards.

a European payment network, but today the focus for Eurogiro is to
continue its global expansion and retain a high level of satisfaction
amongst all of its members.
