Aarna Capital Limited has announced its partnership with Luxembourg-based European Depositary Bank in order to deliver digital banking solutions to its clients. Following this partnership, Aarna Capital will be enabled to leverage European Depositary Bank’s digital banking services.

These include the responsive and secure cloud-based, API-integrated solution for institutional clients, Asset Managers and SPVs, Family Officers, Corporates, Trusts, and UHNWIs. In order to be allowed to use the suite of services, Aarna Capital will need to open multi-currency accounts and manage their day-to-day transactions in an effective and safe manner. Furthermore, the transactions can be done in several ways, such as global payments, FX requirements, as well as cash management through an automated money market set of sweeps via a single online dashboard.

Aarna Capital will be given the possibility to address the common challenges of friction that are experienced by institutional banking users and customers, by proving an expanded functionality and range of solutions and products. Moreover, the financial institution will be enabled to use EDB’s platform in order to benefit from improved digital functionality with multi-currency accounts, fast and secure withdrawal facilities, and 24/7 access. By leveraging the multi-currency cash module, Aarna Capital will have the capability to optimise its cash management process, as well as to automate its time deposits across multiple counterparties.

The process took place via an existing network of regional officers in China, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
