Salt Lake City, August 1, 2007 — Interbank FX, an off-exchange retail foreign currency (forex) broker, today announced the company has been named as finalists for three 2007 American Business Awards.
The company has been recognized in three different categories:
- Best Chairman, Todd Crosland, Interbank FX CEO
- Best Customer Service Team
- Best Customer Service Executive, Arthur Apostolakos
More than 2,000 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in over 40 categories. Companies as diverse as Accenture, Careerbuilder.com, Cleveland Clinic, LifeLock, and Nuveen Investments are among those who are multiple finalists vying for Stevie Awards in The 5th Annual American Business Awards.
"I'm extremely honored that the American Business Awards recognized our customer service efforts," said Todd Crosland, CEO of IBFX. "Delivering excellent customer service is something we pride ourselves on and being named a finalist for these three categories is a reflection of our dedication to our customers."
Hailed as "the business world's version of the Oscars" (New York Post , April 27, 2005), The American Business Awards are the only national, all-encompassing awards program honoring great performances in business. Nicknamed Stevie for the Greek word "crowned," the coveted award was designed by the same company that makes the Oscar, Clio, and other major awards. Stevie winners will be announced during a gala at New York's Marriott Marquis Hotel on Monday, June 11. Larry Wilmore of THE DAILY SHOW with JON STEWART will be Master of Ceremonies.
"Bering named a finalist in The American Business Awards is an important achievement," said Michael Gallagher, founder and president of The Stevie Awards. "It means that independent business executives have agreed the nominee is worthy of national recognition. We congratulate all the finalists on their achievement and wish them well in the competition."
Finalists were selected by business professionals nationwide during more than five weeks of preliminary judging. Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs will select Stevie winners from among the Finalists.
