PAObank Launches Real-Time FX Service in Partnership with Citi

Citi and PAObank have partnered to enable PAObank to offer a real-time foreign exchange (FX) service for its retail customers.

The service allows transactions in Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, and Renminbi on a 24/7 basis, with plans to extend it to additional currencies.

While the service is supported by Citi’s platform, it is provided directly by PAObank to its end customers.

Through Citi’s FX API (Application Programming Interface), PAObank can allow retail customers to conduct FX transactions via its Mobile Banking App.

The system fully automates the process, debiting and crediting customer accounts in real time.

Citi’s FX API plugs directly into clients’ existing systems and processes.

It provides access to over 100 currencies, allowing institutions to offer FX services without developing their own infrastructure or in-house FX trading capabilities.
