This successful project expands SCB's Private Banking business following the acquisition of American Express Bank in February 2008. Spectrum Private Banking is a comprehensive solution for managing client accounts and trades, and the bank's global private banking operations. SCB is using Spectrum Private Banking to manage its collateralized crossproduct trading business. With this deployment, Spectrum has become the first commercial implementation of a real-time, cross-product margining solution in the private banking sector.

Spectrum is a critical component in SCB's strategy to rapidly expand its Private Banking business. With trading centers in London, Singapore and Hong Kong, and using the multi-branch capabilities of Spectrum, SCB is offering its clients 24-5 trading of a wide variety of collateralized products. Spectrum Private Banking allows SCB's clients to take collateralized positions in FX (Spot, Forwards, Swaps), FX Options (Vanilla, Single and Double Barriers, Digital, Single and Double Digitals, Accumulators), Equity, Bond, Equity Option, Bond Option and Money Market contracts with real time collateral and credit monitoring.

With the acquisition of American Express Bank, SCB's Private Bank is now working to integrate the best elements of the two bank's financial products, client service processes and technologies.
