Continuing its run of contract wins, Xcitek has sealed an agreement with U.S. Bancorp, which will use the XcitekSolutionsPlus (XSP) corporate actions processing platform. The multi-year agreement also covers U.S. Bancorp’s use of eTRAN, Xcitek’s web-based module for automated notifications, and access to Xcitek’s corporate actions data.
