By leveraging Citi Securities Lending Access (CSLA), a platform powered by novel technology from Sharegain, this initiative marks the debut of CSLA in Asia.
Citi’s innovation in digitising the securities lending lifecycle has democratised access to a service previously reserved for institutional players.
Eusebio Sanchez, head of execution services for Citi Securities Services in Asia, highlighted the significance of the partnership: “With CSLA, Citi is enabling a broader base of market participants to reap the benefits of securities lending. In addition to benefiting our clients and their underlying customers, the solution gives borrowers access to new pools of untapped securities. We are proud to bring CSLA to Asia with Maybank Securities as we continue to develop leading digital solutions that bring value to our clients and address their evolving post-trade needs.”
This partnership aligns with Maybank Securities’ strategy to enhance value for its ASEAN retail clients.
