Over 4,600 transactions contribute to global payments of over USD1.2 billion in just 19 weeks HSBC today announced that its HSBCnet Mobile service, available in 19 markets in the Asia Pacific region, has been used to authorise USD500 million of payments in Asia in just 19 weeks. HSBCnet Mobile is designed by HSBC’s Payments and Cash Management business to make it easy for corporate treasurers and senior managers to check account balances and statements, authorise payment instructions and receive payment alerts using smart-phones. Since its launch in November 2011, over USD500 million in payments have been authorised in Asia Pacific and over USD1.2 billion globally, averaging USD67 million per week. Diane S Reyes, Global Head of Payments and Cash Management at HSBC commented, “This is another example of how we’re making it easier for treasurers and finance directors to run their businesses. No other bank has HSBC’s mobile reach in the Asia Pacific region, so HSBCnet Mobile makes a real difference to how our customers do their jobs both in Asia and globally.” Using HSBCnet Mobile, clients can view account balances and statements; authorise Priority Payments, Inter-Account Transfers and ACH Credits/Debits; receive notification of payments requiring authorisation. HSBC’s Global Head of eCommerce for Payments and Cash Management, Marcus Treacher, added, “We believe we are the first bank to offer a corporate mobile solution in so many major markets – a simple, secure and action-orientated service to meet today’s changing business needs. The service is available on iPhone, Android and BlackBerry smart phones, and in 2012 we plan to expand the already robust suite of supported payment types.” HSBCnet Mobile service is a complimentary value-added service.
