Standard Chartered Launches AI-Powered FX Insights
Posted by Colin Lambert. Last updated: February 8, 2025
Standard Chartered has launched what it says is an “industry-first” AI-powered video column, the Wealth Management FX Intelligent Expert which leverages AI technology in collaboration with LSEG.
The bank claims the launch represents “a significant step forward” in delivering real-time, easily digestible FX market insights directly to clients. It builds on insights drawn from the bank’s Daily Market Navigator – a market publication produced by Standard Chartered’s global chief investment office – and applies AI-driven summarisation. This translates the material where necessary, and automatically converts the summarised insights into a one-minute video with voiceover and relevant visuals.
Following its December 2024 debut for retail clients in Mainland China, StanChart says plans are now in place to roll out the service in the coming months in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The launch will help investors in what the bank says is a “struggle” to stay abreast of the rapidly changing FX markets. It adds, clients benefit from an improved experience through dynamic, on-demand video updates that are both interactive and accessible, enabling them to understand crucial market movements and potential trade opportunities more easily.
“By transforming our global chief investment office’s expert views into easily digestible, high-quality videos, we offer our clients access to timely market insights wherever they are, reinforcing our commitment to technological innovation and personalised wealth solutions that meet evolving needs,” says Samir Subberwal, global head, wealth solutions, deposits and mortgages, and chief client officer at Standard Chartered.
Sneha Manohar, head of strategic accounts, APAC, at LSEG, adds, “Our technological solutions help refine complex FX market data into accessible video content, empowering investors to make well-informed decisions in an increasingly dynamic environment. This partnership signals an exciting shift in how financial institutions can engage with clients around the globe.”
