    Bank Negara unit MyClear to set up new retail payment platform

    The Malaysian Electronic Clearing Corp Sdn Bhd (MyClear), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), is developing a new real-time retail payments platform to serve both as a catalyst and enabler for innovative payments in Malaysia.

    BNM deputy governor Datuk Muhammad Ibrahim said the enhancement, which is expected to launch in 2017, would adopt a multi-currency system that leveraged on the SWIFT messaging system for large value payments.

    “The enhanced Real-Time Gross Settlement System (RENTAS) would cater for multiple messaging formats including the internationally-recognised ISO 20022 which supports the transmission of richer remittance data and facilitates interconnectedness with other economies within the region,” he said in his keynote address at the Malaysia E-Payment Excellence Awards (MEEA) in Kuala Lumpur on Monday.

    He said BNM would continue to foster an enabling environment for infrastructure building and network expansion, adding the enhanced platform also promoted effective competition among industry players to spur the development of innovative solutions, provide greater choices and value proposition to the public and, in the process, lower costs.

    Meanwhile, MyClear managing director Peter Schiesser said the retail payment platform initiative is in line the implementation of faster payments in the United Kingdom, Singapore and Sweden.

    The platform has also delivered significant economic benefits, as well as new immediate payment initiatives in Australia, the United States and the European Union, he added.

    CenturyLink expands cloud platform to Australia

    CenturyLink has announced the availability of CenturyLink Cloud in Australia.

    The CenturyLink Cloud platform delivers enterprise-class control, agility, scalability and security backed by an industry-leading global network.

    Businesses based or operating in Australia can now turn to a single, trusted provider for public and private cloud infrastructure, managed services, colocation, network connectivity and support for advanced hybrid solutions.

    The Sydney cloud node joins the company’s other available cloud locations in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, and Singapore.

  • BNP Paribas Quits Hong Kong Private Trading Platform

    BNP Paribas Quits Hong Kong Private Trading Platform

    BNP Paribas is shutting down a private trading platform in Hong Kong, according to a note sent by the French bank to its clients. The platform was what’s called a dark pool – a place where institutional investors can engage in private securities trades.

    December Will See Tougher Legislation, Higher Costs

    The move by BNP is believed to be a result of tougher financial market regulation in Hong Kong, which should come into effect from December and will substantially increase the costs and risks associated with running dark pools, as the local regulator, like its counterparts across the world, strive for greater transparency in the industry.

    BNP is studying alternative solutions for its clients

    In the note to clients, obtained by Bloomberg, the French lender explained: “In view of the changing client needs and the evolving regulatory environment, BNP Paribas Securities (Asia) Ltd. in Hong Kong decided to stop running the internal dark liquidity pool trading services, BNP Internal Exchange (BIX), from December 2015.” It added that it is considering alternative solutions for its dark pool clients but all current orders will be transferred to the Hong Kong exchange, it said in the note.

    It seems that the new regulation is the final blow to BNP’s dark pool in Hong Kong, after the bank was fined almost $2 million by the local regulator, the Securities and Futures Commission, in August for failing to comply with dark pool operating rules. The violation consisted of BNP assigning equal priority to all orders processed in the pool over the three years between 2009 and 2011, when operations were suspended.

    Watchdog Wants Transparency

    The new Hong Kong regulation has stipulated a ban on retail orders in dark pools, a requirement that will see dark pool operators treat priority client trades over proprietary orders, plus a host administrative regulatory and administrative controls aimed to cast some light on these non-transparent platforms. As a result, such businesses are likely to become uneconomical.

    There are 16 dark pool operators in Hong Kong at the moment, accounting for 2 percent of the market, according to Reuters. In comparison, in Europe and the US, these platforms account for around 10 percent of trade turnover.
