MAS's move is clever—shortening cycles, reducing excessive scrutiny, maintaining standards while attracting clients, now Hong Kong's pressure is coming.

ME News Report, May 25 (UTC+8), the Monetary Authority of Singapore is working with private banks to adopt a "risk-adaptive" approach to shorten account opening times. The head of the Monetary Authority of Singapore stated that the agency aims to reduce the account opening time to within one month, while the median time for complex cases currently takes about six weeks or longer. He said this move is intended to ensure banks maintain high standards while avoiding unnecessary and excessive scrutiny of customers' sources of wealth. (Source: ChainCatcher)
