HSBC has expanded its digital and automated banking capabilities through new platform launches and technical pilots. The bank first introduced HSBCnio, a digital transaction banking platform for corporate and institutional clients. This platform integrates banking services and data into business workflows, featuring AI-enabled access via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to allow clients to query account information using their own AI tools.

Building on digital integration, HSBC and Ant Digital Technologies conducted a pilot program testing AI-agent payment workflows. This technical verification utilized HSBC’s Tokenised Deposit Service and Ant Digital’s Anvita Flow network to facilitate real-time settlement on the Jovay Testnet blockchain. The pilot demonstrated a simulated AI agent completing micropayments for digital services without manual intervention.
