HSBC rolls out cross-border tokenised deposit service

TDS has completed its first USD cross-border transaction between Hong Kong and Singapore.

HSBC has expanded its tokenised deposit service (TDS) to support cross-border transactions.

The megabank said that TDS completed its first USD cross-border transaction between Hong Kong and Singapore, to optimise the treasury management of payments service giant Ant International.

HSBC has also rolled out the service to the UK and Luxembourg markets, supporting domestic payments in additional currencies such as GBP, EUR, and USD.

HSBC said that it plans to scale the service to its key markets.

TDS is a blockchain-based solution that promises to enable HSBC’s corporate clients to securely move currencies in real-time with instant 24/7 settlement.

It will be able to support programmability, where conditional payments can be embedded in the transfer of TDS and settlement of tokenised assets, the bank said.

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.
