Standard Chartered has become the first bank to join the Temenos Exchange partner programme, embedding its FX API service directly into the core banking vendor’s ecosystem. This integration gives financial institutions (FIs) using the Temenos platform faster access to Standard Chartered’s extensive currencies offering, covering over 130 currencies and 5,000 currency pairs, while enabling better management of exposure to FX market volatility.
By plugging into Standard Chartered’s services, Temenos clients can significantly reduce the burden on inhouse technology teams, particularly beneficial for retail banks, wealth managers, and payment providers handling low-value or high-volume transactions outside of their treasury operations.
The partnership also offers greater functionality when combined with Temenos Payment Hub, allowing FIs to consolidate Standard Chartered’s Aggregated Liquidity Engine (SCALE) with domestic and international payment rails on a single platform — streamlining connections between payment sources, clearing networks, and distribution services.
Janet Thomas, global head of strategic partnerships for corporate and investment banking at Standard Chartered, says: “We are delighted to partner with Temenos to extend the reach of SCALE to even more financial institutions globally, by building on the geographical synergy that Standard Chartered shares with Temenos.”
