These results come against the backdrop of continued investment in the bank's payments product factory, including the expansion of international payments to cover up to 140 currencies and a refined customer experience with a more efficient and user-friendly journey. They also reflect the bank's structural advantages - most notably, its unique combination of local market expertise and international coverage and product capabilities, enabling clients to manage cross-border payments efficiently, securely, and compliantly.
