innovative banking
We are simplifying banking. For generations, we have provided solutions that made banking easy for millions of customers across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, and we are on our next journey to make banking seamless.
Partner with us and connect with customers in some of the largest and fastest-growing markets.
Re-inventing the code-to-human interface
From commercial solutions to retail services, you can build anything with our technology.
We have collaborated with Siemens Financial Services and digital trade provider TradeIX to pilot the industry’s blockchain-based smart guarantees in trade finance. The solution fully digitises the process from initiation of the bank guarantee to the claim handling while eliminating intensive paper procedures.
Ant Financial appointed us to be the core partner bank for its new blockchain cross-border remittance solution. With a focus on enhancing financial inclusion globally, this first blockchain-based cross-digital wallet remittance service will be offered through AlipayHK in Hong Kong and GCash in the Philippines.
In Africa, we have gone digital. Our first digital-only bank in this vast market is bridging the gap between traditional banking and generation digital. In Hong Kong, our virtual banking licence is underway to allow our clients to manage their money on the go.
