Boag added: 'With real-time payments and e-commerce redefining financial landscapes, corporate treasurers are shifting to a 24/7 liquidity management mindset. HSBC's solution eliminates traditional barriers, extending automated liquidity management beyond the conventional workweek to a seamless, daily operation.' Todd Wilcox, Deputy Chairperson and CEO, HSBC Bank Egypt, commented: 'This launch represents a milestone for HSBC in the Middle East and aligns with Egypt's broader digitalization strategy. Our solution grants corporate clients continuous, 24/7 liquidity management, transitioning from a five-day model to a more flexible, efficient system. This transformation enhances working capital efficiency and strengthens financial resilience.' By consolidating positive and negative balances across multiple HSBC accounts into a single account, the solution optimizes liquidity, reduces borrowing costs, and enhances financial agility. HSBC's 'Global Liquidity Solutions' self-service platform further empowers customers to manage liquidity autonomously seven days a week, allowing real-time oversight of sweep execution and inter-company positions.
