New BOSLIL Fee Schedule effective from January 1, 2010
Dear BOSLIL Clients,
We would like to inform you about upcoming changes to our fee schedule. After five years without changing our fees for the banking services provided, BOSLIL has undertaken an exercise to examine the costs and effort required to provide our services and the remuneration received. Our project team has not only analysed our internal processes but also compared our fees with those of competitors. We have worked hard to improve processes and increase efficiency where possible to keep our pricing stable, but in some instances came to the conclusion that changes to our fee structure were required. Our new Schedule for Commission and Fees will become effective from January 1, 2010.
In keeping with the values of trust, integrity and transparency that have allowed BOSLIL to stand out during this turbulent financial times and build even stronger relationships with you, our valued clients, we have provided a Comparative Fee Schedule to highlight for your ease of reference the changes referred to above. Again, we have worked hard to maintain our fees at traditional levels, but in the current environment and that expected to go forward, increased efforts will be required. The changes made we believe will achieve the balance that allows you to continue receiving a valued service, while at the same time compensating the bank for its efforts and ensuring that we continue to remain a strong and vibrant financial partner.
While we are aware that price increases may not be met with general approval, we are certain that by adapting our fees now we will be able to continue providing the excellent customer service that you, our valued clients, have come to rely on. Should you have any questions and/or comments please do not hesitate to contact me via telephone at +1 758 452 0444 or via email at bernd.dittrich@boslil.com for further information.
Best regards,
Bernd Dittrich

New Payment Service Provider
Dear BOSLIL-Clients,
Our team at BOSLIL is happy to announce that we have now added ING Belgium SA/NV to our correspondent banking network. ING Group is one of Europe’s market leaders in the Payments business with a strong commitment to this market segment, including competitive pricing.
BOSLIL will route all outgoing cross-border payments in the main currencies USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, CAD, AUD, NZD and HKD via ING Belgium, while we will continue to use Lloyds TSB Bank as our correspondent bank for all other currencies. With ING we will be able to continue improving our service to you, our valued clients.
Some of the benefits of receiving funds via ING include:
• ING’s high degree of automation will increase the speed of transaction processing and thus we will be able to provide you with liquidity faster.
• ING will not deduct any fees from the amount to be credited, which means that you will receive more money into your account.
All of our accounts with Lloyds TSB Bank will remain active and incoming funds in your favour will continue to be processed.
We recommend that you provide your debtors with the new BOSLIL Wiring Instructions listed below for commercial payments and also amend your invoices as soon as possible. For example, the payment section of your USD-invoice could read as follows:

Dear Clients,
In our efforts to further enhance the existing security of our banking services, we would like to advise that we have implemented a strong password policy.
When the system requests you to renew your password after ninety days, you will be prompted to enter a password which is at least eight (8) characters long and contains at least one (1) character from each of the following:
- alpha value
- numeric value
- upper and lower case
- special character (such as #,@,%,&,*, etc.)
We trust that you will appreciate this enhanced security measure as it increases the safety of your data.
