The bank said the newly created role will help one of its key pillars of embedding its solutions into the digital platforms that its clients are adopting.
HSBC has appointed Aman Narain as head of platforms for global commercial banking, a role in which he will lead its strategy, including the development, commercialization and innovation of propositions, according to an announcement on Wednesday.
Narain joins the bank from Google, where he was instrumental in the build-out and commercialisation of revenue-generating ecosystems, including the launch of Google Pay in Singapore and the design of the GooglePlex account in the U.S.. He previously led digital and marketing transformation for Schroders and held various leadership positions at Standard Chartered.
Based in Singapore, Narain will report to Stuart Tait, regional head of commercial banking, Asia Pacific.
