Singapore-based DBS Bank has tapped Nasdaq to enhance its surveillance capabilities and continue to protect its clients from market abuse.
DBS has a presence in 18 markets, where it provides a full range of services in consumer, SME and corporate banking.
Nasdaq’s Trade Surveillance solution will allow DBS to better analyze comprehensive market abuse surveillance scenarios and detect trading anomalies.
DBS’ trade surveillance team will now be able to detect, investigate and document a wide array of market abuse behaviors through tailored alerts while having access to a consolidated view to manage and monitor market abuse risks across multiple venues and asset classes.
