CAB Payments is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Crown Agents Bank Limited ("CAB") has received approvals from The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and The New York State Department of Financial Services to operate a representative office in New York.

The New York representative office will act as a regional business hub for CAB, enabling the Group to continue to serve its existing clients while driving new client business in the region.

"I am delighted we have been granted the licence to operate a representative office in New York. This presence in one of the world's leading financial centres further enhances our network allowing us to better serve existing and new clients. With on-the-ground presence in the UK, Europe and now the US, we are creating a business with global reach.
