HSBC Singapore launches new retail banking, investment platforms

Its financial planning and tracking app will have risk and scenario analysis functions.

HSBC Singapore is floating new digital platforms to better support its retail banking and wealth management business, according to a news release.

This follows the $2.9b (US$2.2b) global investment the bank made in H1 2019 to enhance its digital capabilities. As one of the eight “scale” global markets, the Lion City has received a considerable proportion of this investment over the past two years.

Launched this month, HSBC Wealth Portfolio Plus is an end-to-end financial planning and tracking app. It includes risk and scenario analysis functions courtesy of BlackRock’s Aladdin Wealth platform. This is the first app to offer institutional analytical capabilities to retail investors in Singapore.

On the other hand, the Structured Product Online Platform is a solution for accredited investors to invest in structured products offered by the bank. It is slated for launch in Q1 2020.

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.
