Payward与新加坡海湾银行达成合作，为机构数字资产市场提供全天候结算服务

Payward已整合新加坡海湾银行（SGB）的实时清算网络SGB Net，允许亚洲及海湾地区的机构客户在任何时间即时完成结算。此外，SGB还将Kraken Prime作为其数字资产流动性的新增来源。

打破传统金融壁垒，实现全天候交易结算

长期以来，银行与交易场所之间的结算往往需要数天时间，且受限于固定的截止时间，这与数字资产市场24小时不间断交易的特性形成了鲜明对比。通过引入SGB Net，SGB的客户可以在任何时段将资金存入Payward并立即投入使用，实现了真正的“随时待命”式结算。

此次合作中，Payward整合了SGB Net——这是SGB推出的实时多币种清算网络。该网络使得两家公司的机构客户能够全天候、每周七天无间断地即时结算交易。目前，这项结算服务首先面向部分精选客户提供美元交易结算，并计划在未来逐步扩展至更多客户群体及其他货币种类。

深化流动性合作，赋能机构客户

SGB还与Payward旗下的全功能主经纪商解决方案Kraken Prime建立了合作伙伴关系，以获取其数字资产产品所需的流动性。在接下来的几个月里，SGB将利用Payward的市场数据为其自有客户进行定价。

SGB launched SGB Net in 2025 to meet the operational needs of growing digital asset companies. Since its launch, the network has expanded rapidly, processing more than US$20 billion in fiat currency transactions per month. SGB is backed by Bahrain's sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat and the Singapore Whampoa Group and serves corporate customers globally through digital means.

Industry Expert Opinion

Mark Greenberg, chief commercial officer at Payward, said: "Exchanges, payment providers, over-the-counter trading desks and financial technology companies all face the same banking constraints: When the business day ends, settlement stops, but their markets never stop. SGB builds a settlement infrastructure that reflects the future of digital asset banking and payments. Every regulated bank with which we establish this connection brings us one step closer to a future where settlements and cross-border payments occur in real time, no matter where our customers are."

Shawn Chan, CEO of SGB, pointed out: "If customers cannot move funds when needed, then there is no point in gaining liquidity. By connecting SGB Net to Payward and partnering with Kraken Prime, we closely integrate settlement and liquidity, providing customers with more flexible ways to fund and manage their digital asset activities."

About Payward Banking's Vision

In order to support cross-border customers and various assets around the world, SGB provides global businesses and individuals with public and personal bank account services, combining multi-currency accounts, international payments, remote account opening and digital asset service access.

The partnership is part of strengthening Payward Banking, the funding layer behind Payward's platform and aims to modernize the way customers move cash in deposits, payments, cards, custody and loans. As digital asset markets merge with traditional banking services, customers expect their funds to flow as fast as the assets they trade. By partnering with leading regulated banks, Payward is able to bring this speed to new markets and continue to add banking partners to provide customers around the world with a broader suite of banking services.
