OCBC has become the first bank to collaborate with Ant International, an AI-native payment, account, FX, treasury, and growth solutions provider, on a tokenised deposit solution that enables always-on treasury management and liquidity movement between Singapore and Malaysia.
The solution allows Ant International and its businesses to manage intra-group liquidity more efficiently across borders, OCBC says.
In the initial phase, Ant International will be able to mobilise Singapore dollar- and US dollar-denominated tokenised deposits on a 24/7 basis, enabling near real-time settlement of treasury transactions between its entities.
Powered by OCBC’s blockchain capabilities, the solution is delivered via Ant International’s WhaleRTP platform.
Ms Carmen Chan, deputy head of global transaction banking at OCBC, says: “OCBC has been a first mover in bringing innovative transaction banking solutions to market, and this latest milestone with Ant International demonstrates our commitment to helping corporates navigate an increasingly connected and fast-moving business environment.
“By combining OCBC's blockchain capabilities and transaction banking expertise with Ant International's Whale platform, we are enabling businesses to manage liquidity with greater speed, visibility, and efficiency.
“More importantly, this illustrates how tokenisation is moving beyond experimentation to deliver tangible, real-world value for treasury and working capital management at scale.”
Mr Kelvin Li, general manager of platform tech and senior vice president at Ant International, adds: “We are glad to deepen our partnership with OCBC to bring real-world value to global businesses.”
