London-based Standard Chartered has launched an AI-powered video column for clients in Asia as it seeks to provide better insights on the foreign exchange market.

Called ‘Standard Chartered wealth management FX intelligent expert’, the column uses advanced AI technology deployed in collaboration with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG).

The new feature draws on insights from the bank's Daily Market Navigator, a market publication produced by its global chief investment office.

It features an AI-driven content summarisation, automatically converting the synthesised insights into a one-minute video with voiceover and relevant images and translating the material when necessary.

The service is already available in mainland China and will be extended to Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan in the coming months.

With this move, Standard Chartered seeks to provide real-time and easily digestible FX market insights directly to its clients, supporting the bank’s wider approach to providing digital-first wealth tools for its customers.

The new feature aims to help investors better understand crucial market movements and potential trading opportunities, to help them stay informed about the rapidly changing foreign exchange investments market.

Sneha Manohar, head of strategic accounts, APAC at LSEG, said that the partnership signals a shift in how financial institutions can engage with clients around the globe.

Samir Subberwal, global head, wealth solutions, deposits and mortgages, and chief client officer at Standard Chartered, said: “By transforming our global chief investment office’s expert views into easily digestible, high-quality videos, we offer our clients access to timely market insights wherever they are, reinforcing our commitment to technological innovation and personalised wealth solutions that meet evolving needs.”
