Deutsche Bank partners with finaXai on token fund servicing

It will assess the integration of machine learning and large language models into asset servicing workflows.

Deutsche Bank has announced a collaboration with Singapore-based fintech start-up finaXai to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can support the servicing of tokenised investment funds.

The initiative aims to build on Project DAMA 2, a multi-chain asset servicing pilot designed to improve fund servicing efficiency through blockchain technologies.

The partnership will assess the integration of machine learning and large language models (LLMs) into asset servicing workflows.

According to Deutsche Bank, the goal is to enhance fund lifecycle management with tools that improve speed, transparency, and accuracy whilst maintaining explainability.

FinaXai was co-founded by researchers from Nanyang Technological University and the National University of Singapore, and operates within the Fincubator programme at the Asian Institute of Digital Finance.

In a media release, Deutsche Bank said the project will “unify leading research-backed solutions with industry applications to reduce complexity and boost AI’s explainability and integration with DLT.”

The bank stated that the collaboration is part of its effort to better understand the evolving needs of asset managers in the context of digital asset servicing.

FinaXai’s focus is on developing AI solutions that are both transparent and aligned with industry requirements. The startup combines academic research with applied machine learning and natural language processing to create tools for data-driven asset selection and portfolio construction.

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.
