HSBC TDS is available in Hong Kong, Singapore, Luxembourg, and the UK
HSBC announced the launch of its Tokenized Deposit Service (TDS) in the United States, marking a significant expansion of its digital money capabilities to enable seamless, real-time funds movement across jurisdictions in a regulatory-compliant, always-on environment.
TDS combines the familiarity and trust of traditional bank deposits with the speed, transparency, and automation of blockchain-based rails. Through TDS, eligible clients can transfer funds 24/7 – domestically and cross-border – from treasury centers to subsidiaries, instantly and on-chain, improving liquidity management and global commerce.
“Our clients operate across markets, currencies, and time zones and are looking for faster, more transparent ways to manage liquidity and move money without adding operational complexity,” said Tom Halpin, North America Lead, Global Payments Solutions, HSBC. “With TDS, we’re helping clients reduce friction, improve control, and connect more easily with the evolving digital ecosystem.”
Built to integrate with clients’ existing treasury and payment infrastructures and operate within local regulatory frameworks, TDS reflects HSBC’s commitment to delivering innovation with strong governance and compliance standards. The service is also available in Hong Kong, Singapore, Luxembourg, and the UK, and supports a range of currencies including EUR, GBP, HKD, SGD, and USD.
Benefits of TDS can include:
- Accelerated settlement within the tokenized deposit network
- 24/7 availability for domestic and cross-border transfers
- More efficient working capital management and liquidity movement across accounts and entities
- Compatibility with existing banking and treasury infrastructure
- Improved visibility into cash positions to support real-time liquidity decisions
- Reduced manual processing and straight-through processing to streamline operations
As part of its broader digital asset strategy, HSBC continues to invest in building an open, interoperable money layer, connecting core financial infrastructure with emerging digital networks. This supports a range of use cases, including bridging blockchain-enabled workflows with payment and banking rails, enabling real-time treasury management, facilitating settlement of tokenized assets, and integrating with regulated digital money solutions.
