(Singapore, 26.08.2025)Standard Chartered and Ant International have announced the launch of a new AI-driven Treasury and FX Management Solution that integrates Ant International’s Falcon Time-Series Transformer (TST) Model with Standard Chartered’s Aggregated Liquidity Engine (SCALE). The solution is designed to provide real-time foreign exchange forecasting and risk management for cross-border businesses.
Both companies are Pathfinder institutions in the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s PathFin.ai programme, which promotes the application of artificial intelligence in the financial sector.
The Falcon TST Model, a big data forecasting engine with nearly two billion parameters, applies advanced time-series algorithms to predict cashflow and FX exposures. Integrated with SCALE, Standard Chartered can forecast Ant International’s FX exposures with more than 90% accuracy, reducing clients’ hedging costs and improving overall risk management.
Falcon is currently applied to more than 60% of Ant International’s FX-related transactions, cutting FX costs by up to 60% and liquidity management costs by up to 50%. SCALE complements this by offering multi-currency pricing and settlement around the clock, backed by Standard Chartered’s global network.
Madhu Menon, Global Head of SC PrismFX Sales at Standard Chartered, said: “We continue to invest in technology that helps our clients manage their risks and exposures effectively. This collaboration with Ant International introduces a new approach to managing FX risk and costs for clients worldwide.”
Kelvin Li, General Manager of Platform Tech at Ant International, added: “Integrating Standard Chartered’s banking capabilities with Ant International’s technology enhances how businesses manage liquidity and FX strategies, making cross-border transactions more efficient.”
With cross-border trade flows expanding, both parties said they will continue to develop new AI-enabled solutions to support global businesses in managing liquidity and foreign exchange more seamlessly.
