HSBC Bank (Singapore) Limited (HSBC Singapore) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Saxo Bank A/S (Saxo) to adopt its end-to-end, self-directed trading infrastructure for equities investments. 

The collaboration will enable HSBC Singapore to strengthen its equities investment offering to all retail banking customers, including those residing overseas. By incorporating Saxo’s trading infrastructure to HSBC Singapore’s digital platform, HSBC customers will gain access to new platform functionalities, expanded global market access and enhanced user experience.

Mr Anurag Mathur, Head of Wealth and Personal Banking, HSBC Singapore, “To meet our customers’ need for best-in-class digital banking and wealth solutions, we need to work with like-minded partners to scale up our digital capabilities at pace. Saxo’s well-reputed trading infrastructure will allow us to boost our equities trading capabilities and deliver an end-to-end solution to our customers.”

We look forward to this collaboration which aims to reduce cost and complexity, and accelerate the development of a fully digital wealth experience for HSBC customers.” 

HSBC’s ambition is to become Asia’s #1 wealth management provider in five years, and digitalising its wealth capabilities at scale with a mobile-first approach is key. 

Being central to the Group’s Asian Wealth ambitions, HSBC Singapore will continue to accelerate the digitalisation of its banking services and wealth solutions. To better enable its ability to support virtual banking as an International Wealth Hub, HSBC has introduced more than 60 remote-enabled processes and customer servicing journeys since 2020. 

Building on the momentum, HSBC Singapore has released a suite of mobile-led digital solutions and customer journeys this year. 

In particular, HSBC customers can get a 360 view of their financial holdings including equities in Singapore via HSBC FinConnect which taps on SGFinDex, an industry platform for open banking. They can now open investment accounts for various asset classes including unit trusts and equities; get a consolidated view of their investments via Wealth Portfolio Plus; and update their risk profile, W8-Ben and other investment documents through the Wealth Dashboard, by using their mobile. In addition, Premier and Jade International customers in Hong Kong and mainland China can open an account with the bank digitally.
