HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire<\/a> – 9 December 2025 – Citi and PAO Bank Limited (“PAObank”) have partnered to enable PAObank to introduce a new service, allowing PAObank’s retail customers to conduct real-time foreign exchange (FX) transactions in Hong Kong dollar, US dollar and Renminbi 24\/7.

While supported by Citi’s platform, this FX service is offered by PAObank directly to its end customers. <\/p>\n

The solution provides Citi clients with access to more than 100 currencies*<\/b>, enabling them to go to market faster, without the need for tech infrastructure buildout and in-house FX trading capabilities. <\/p>\n

“For over a decade, Citi’s FX API solutions have been helping financial institutions and payment intermediaries drive their businesses forward, enabling them to offer FX and cross\u2011border payment services to their end customers,” said Darren Brighton, Global Head of Digital FX Sales for Citi<\/b>. “We are excited to partner with PAObank on the launch of their currency exchange service for retail customers, supporting the company’s commitment to advancing financial inclusion through cutting-edge digital banking services.” <\/p>\n
