HSBC Singapore to give cash management advice to COVID-hit firms

They will also assist clients who need to expedite their manual payment handling.

HSBC Singapore is extending cash management advice and expediting urgent payments for firms affected by the coronavirus, according to a news release.

Amidst the outbreak, many businesses are facing disruptions in transitioning to their liquidity management Business Continuity Plans (BCP). The bank has assembled liquidity and cash management BCP advisory team to identify and correct gaps in clients’ treasury BCP models through updates and practical advice.

In addition, HSBC said that it will prioritise and assist clients who need to speed up their manual payment handling on a case-to-case basis.

The bank will also accept digitally-submitted documents via HSBCnet and email, whilst a 90-day moratorium will be granted for the submission of originally signed documents.

HSBC added that it will offer additional resources to assist customers shifting to electronic banking platforms.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
