Working to deliver an end-to-end option for 24/7 corporate and financial institutions’ payments across settlement banks and currencies.
LONDON and SINGAPORE, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Partior, the trusted blockchain-based clearing and settlement network, and LSEG Digital Settlement House (DiSH) today announced a strategic collaboration to bring always-on settlement bank liquidity to Partior’s global cross-border payments network. Working alongside a number of innovative banks, the firms are developing a Multi-Settlement Bank (MSB) solution that combines the reach of correspondent banking with the speed and efficiency of digital settlement, facilitated through LSEG DiSH trust accounts.
The friction of multi-bank networks is becoming the bottleneck of business and corporate treasury despite many efforts to optimise. Rebuilding the corporate operating model for every new bank, settlement asset or network is adding to this complexity. To achieve near real-time interbank programmable payments, fragmented settlement is no longer simply inefficient–it is incompatible.
As corporates seek greater efficiency and global consistency, banks and market infrastructures must balance differentiation with collaboration. By aligning on common infrastructure, such as shared rails, they can deliver a more streamlined customer experience without requiring every bank to connect directly to every proprietary digital payment network.
The combination of LSEG DiSH’s omnibus trust account framework with Partior’s Multi-Currency Clearing and Settlement Network addresses key inefficiencies in the traditional correspondent banking model. By enabling 24/7* movement of settlement liquidity across multiple settlement banks, the combined solution allows participating banks to optimise liquidity in real time, reducing dependence on payment cut-off times and minimising the need for pre-funded bilateral nostro relationships.
A Proven Principle: Collaborative, Allied Infrastructure Delivers Deep Customer Value
The strategic partnership between Partior and LSEG DiSH brings together two tokenised cash solutions to deliver a practical and consistent way in which the market can move forward, leveraging existing services to deliver near- and long-term value.
The target design creates:
- 24/7* Liquidity Management: The ability to manage settlement liquidity 24/7 without opening nostro/vostro accounts.
- Unified Corporate Experience: An avenue for infrastructure-level collaboration between banks to deliver a unified experience for their corporate clients.
- Comprehensive Payment Rails: A flexible payments framework providing enhanced visibility, global reach, and continuous access.
- Frictionless Interbank Settlement: The removal of interbank friction that currently impedes efficient operating models and customer service.
- Intraday Funding and Settlement: Lays the foundations for adding PVP and DVP settlement, including for intraday FX and intraday Repo
Partior, LSEG and the participating banks are currently undergoing industry testing, paving the way for production go-live and commercial onboarding for additional settlement banks from Q1 2027.
“LSEG DiSH provides the neutral, trusted third-party option required to connect independent payment ecosystems securely with the potential to do so at scale. By adding our omnibus trust account option with Partior’s clearing scheme, we enable participating banks to instantly manage settlement liquidity 24/7 without the need for direct bilateral account and proprietary digital system integration.”
– Andrew Williams, CEO, Post Trade Solutions, LSEG
“Partnering with market infrastructure like LSEG DiSH unlocks immediate, tangible value for our customers today. By bringing a live settlement liquidity option for our bank users directly into Partior, we eliminate legacy nostro friction and offer a proven, production-ready blueprint for the rest of the global banking community to join.”
– Humphrey Valenbreder, Chief Executive Officer, Partior
“Interoperability between institutional platforms is essential for real-time market infrastructure. As we continue to collaborate with Partior, bringing LSEG DiSH into the ecosystem enables settlement banks and Kinexys Blockchain Deposit Account clients to transact seamlessly 24/7. This is a vital step in expanding global liquidity rails across both digital and legacy systems.”
– Oliver Harris, Global Head of Kinexys by J.P. Morgan
“We are actively pushing the boundaries of commercial bank money settlement to deliver tangible liquidity efficiency. By removing the need for pre-funded nostro/vostro accounts outside standard operating hours, this multi-settlement bank framework will allow us to execute cross-border transactions and optimise liquidity 24/7 for our clients.”
– Patricia Sullivan, Global Head of Institutional Cash Management, Deutsche Bank
“As a founding shareholder, Standard Chartered works closely with Partior to advance cross-border payments and settlement. Interoperability is key to unlocking next-generation payments infrastructure–the partnership between Partior and LSEG DiSH connects complementary market infrastructures, improving liquidity management and supporting cross-border payments in an always-on global economy.”
