HSBC's* CLS service proposition provides:

  • Enhanced Nostro payment services to 40 per cent of the active settlement members to enable them to meet the timed payment demands of the CLS process
  • A full settlements service to third-party institutions which do not qualify for direct CLS membership or which choose not to make the investment
  • A range of multi-currency and cash management benefits, including:
    • Reduction of costs
    • Reduced risk profile
    • Ability to increase FX business without increasing risk
    • Greater control of intraday/end-of-day cash positions
    • Increased efficiency
    • Greater certainty through increased control
