UOB becomes direct participant of China’s cross-border interbank payment system

UOB will provide one-stop cross border RMB clearing, settlement, and payments.

UOB and its subsidiary UOB China have signed agreements to become direct participants of the cross-border interbank payment system (CIPS).

With this, UOB will provide one-stop cross-border renminbi (RMB) clearing, settlement, and payment services to businesses and financial institutions both within and outside China.

UOB clients are expected to enjoy real-time gross settlement and remittance, whilst reducing intermediate steps with lower payment and clearing costs.

UOB will also expand its trading network by connecting more than 1,600 CIPS participants globally and handling cross-border RMB payments and settlements on behalf of indirect participants.

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.
