• Launching in the UAE and Egypt, with plans for global expansion.

Dubai, UAE: HSBC today announced the launch of an innovative cash concentration solution to support corporate clients in navigating the Middle East’s digital revolution. The HSBC Seven-Day Cash Concentration Solution allows the bank’s corporate clients to automate in-country liquidity management every day of the week, including weekends and country holidays.

The solution is the first of its kind in the Middle East financial services industry. The UAE and Egypt will become HSBC’s first markets to introduce the new solution, before expansion to further markets in the Group’s global network later this year, including in the Middle East. The development further underscores HSBC’s position as the leading cash management bank[1] in the region.

Digital transformation is a key pillar of the economic diversification strategies in many parts of the Middle East and has led to the region becoming one of the fastest adopters of real time payments and digital business models. According to the World Economic Forum[2], the region has become the fastest-growing real-time payments market globally and the market is expected to reach US$2.6 billion by 2027. 

Kyle Boag, Head of Global Payments Solutions, HSBC Middle East, North Africa and Turkiye, said: “Launching a cutting-edge cash management solution in the Middle East will help corporates to ride the region’s digital transformation and is another step in enabling our customers to building real-time treasury organizations.”

Boag continued: “The advancement of real time payments and e-commerce means corporate treasurers are now looking at liquidity management as a 24/7 concept. HSBC’s solution overcomes the traditional limitations businesses have faced by extending automated liquidity management from the working week to every single day.”

By consolidating positive and negative balances across various HSBC bank accounts into a single account, the solution helps customers to optimise liquidity and reduce borrowing costs, enhancing their financial flexibility. Through HSBC’s ‘Global Liquidity Solutions’ self-service platform, customers can now be in full control of their liquidity seven days a week, by managing and amending sweep execution and inter-company position parameters.
