Asian Countries are Expected to Grow at the Fastest Rate

The growth of the banking as a service market in the Asia-Pacific is driven by growing urbanization and business demand for cloud computing. It is expected that the expansion of Asia-Pacific will be stimulated by a variety of initiatives undertaken around the world in support of BaaS. Indeed, in July 2022, Finastra announced that they would offer HSBC's foreign exchange (FX) to medium-sized banks of the Asia-Pacific region via their FusionFabric.cloud platform under a BaaS experience. The FX BaaS will allow participating banks to process higher FX volumes and differentiate themselves with various currency offerings while maintaining their customer relationships.

The first phase of the rollout will provide both indicative and executable FX rates to regional mid-tier banks via a plug-in to Finastra’s treasury trading system, Fusion Kondor. This solution allegedly incurs both low maintenance and ownership costs, backed by liquidity and risk management capabilities. The ability to integrate foreign exchange directly into corporate treasury systems, as well as competitive pricing and liquidity in a single arrangement, will contribute to reducing friction between regional banks and their customers while demonstrating the use case of BaaS for real impact.

The collaboration between the two entities will seek to take advantage of the best elements of modern API-driven connectivity with licensed institutions’ secure, regulated infrastructure. Integrating HSBC FX services with mid-tier banks will allow participating banks to deliver a wide range of currencies to their customers through branch networks and other retail channels without requiring any additional technology integration.
