HSBC in Singapore has launched what it says is a refreshed mobile banking app, opening the bank’s range of digital wealth capabilities. 

The app has a redesigned user experience layer that brings wealth journeys, everyday banking and international transfers into a simpler and more intuitive interface, HSBC said in a statement yesterday. 

A new interface is organised around seven hubs – Home & Accounts, Cards, Wealth, Pay & Transfer, Chat, Products, and App Library. Within the Wealth hub, customers can now access tools and actions including goal planning through Future Planner, equity trading, and unit trust investments. The app introduces enhanced in-app conversational banking features and stronger personalisation capabilities.

“The way clients manage their wealth is becoming increasingly digital, international and integrated into everyday financial decisions,” Ashmita Acharya, head of international wealth and premier banking, HSBC Singapore, said.

In parallel, HSBC has been rolling out a series of wealth centres in Asia and other regions.
