HSBC Singapore to give cash management advice to COVID-hit firms

They will also assist clients who need to expedite their manual payment handling.

HSBC Singapore is extending cash management advice and expediting urgent payments for firms affected by the coronavirus, according to a news release.

Amidst the outbreak, many businesses are facing disruptions in transitioning to their liquidity management Business Continuity Plans (BCP). The bank has assembled liquidity and cash management BCP advisory team to identify and correct gaps in clients’ treasury BCP models through updates and practical advice.

In addition, HSBC said that it will prioritise and assist clients who need to speed up their manual payment handling on a case-to-case basis.

The bank will also accept digitally-submitted documents via HSBCnet and email, whilst a 90-day moratorium will be granted for the submission of originally signed documents.

HSBC added that it will offer additional resources to assist customers shifting to electronic banking platforms.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
