Growth Plans
Headquartered in Singapore, Partior was established in April 2021 by DBS, Temasek and J.P. Morgan a peer-to-peer interbank clearing and settlement network supporting real-time settlement of wholesale banking payments in multiple currencies.
The company is currently working to establish offices in London, New York and Beijing, and engaging leading banks globally to join the platform. Its current focus is on facilitating flows primarily in both USD and SGD, with the intent to expand service offerings to additional currencies.
«We aim to speed up transaction time, enable finality and certainty in settlements and make transactions transparent. We are keen on working closely with regulators around the world, such as MAS, to ensure that we establish ourselves as a trusted partner to all financial institutions,» Thompson said in the announcement.
