A new digital treasury services management provider SH Capital (SHC) has been launched in Dubai to enhance small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by offering world-class global banking services, asset management, foreign exchange (FX) hedging solutions, investment products and services.

The independent fintech company said in a statement that it had secured a regulatory license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) and is set to start trading by the end of the second quarter of 2021.
SHC will serve as an intermediary for customers, allowing them to access leading and global tier-one cash investment products. Furthermore, the leading industry experts in the Stanhope team will provide advice for clients on commercial paper, money market funds, futures, options, ETFs, and FX hedging solutions.
Besides, SHC has already collaborated with a range of global counterparties, exchanges, and e-trading venues to provide liquidity in the equity, FX, fixed income, and commodity markets for all customers.
The company noted in a statement, “To do this, SHC leverages the latest RegTech and blockchain technology, which helps to significantly reduce CBR risk and service friction, whilst maintaining a fast, secure and transparent service. More specifically, AML, KYC, trade monitoring, and a distributed ledger technology are just some of the technology utilized for efficient and safe execution of service.”
