- Written by Media Outreach
By connecting to Citi's proprietary FX API (Application Programming Interface), PAObank can enable its retail customers to conduct real-time FX transactions on its Mobile Banking APP. The process is fully automated. The accounts of the end customers will be debited and credited seamlessly in real time.
Citi FX API is a plug‑and‑play solution that can be seamlessly integrated into Citi clients' existing systems and processes. The solution provides Citi clients with access to more than 100 currencies*, enabling them to go to market faster, without the need for tech infrastructure buildout and in-house FX trading capabilities.
"For over a decade, Citi's FX API solutions have been helping financial institutions and payment intermediaries drive their businesses forward, enabling them to offer FX and cross‑border payment services to their end customers," said Darren Brighton, Global Head of Digital FX Sales for Citi. "We are excited to partner with PAObank on the launch of their currency exchange service for retail customers, supporting the company's commitment to advancing financial inclusion through cutting-edge digital banking services."
"We are delighted to partner with Citi for PAObank to introduce real-time FX service to our retail customers via the PAObank Mobile Banking APP, accelerating our goal towards offering comprehensive retail banking services. This collaboration strengthens PAObank's capability to deliver seamless banking services, underscoring our commitment to enhancing customer experience and advancing digital banking in Hong Kong," said Kenneth Tsoi, Head of General Banking Product, PAObank. *The number of currencies will be dependent on the Citi entity that the client transacts with.
