A significant move towards the bank’s commitment
Moving towards the exclusive partnership, the Head of FX Sales and Trading in Asia-Pacific at BNY Mellon, Darren Boulos gave a statement. He said that this is a prominent step in the bank’s commitment. Specifically towards Singapore which is the core of Asia G10 FX trading, he added.
Furthermore, the Executive Director at MAS, Gillian Tan notified that BNY Mellon is an honoured expansion to Singapore’s FX e-exchanging system. The significance of a strong and flexible framework to help FX exchanging exercises can’t be downplayed, he added.
