Why merchants use DSGPay CHATS Payments

Hong Kong's own settlement backbone, in four currencies.

CHATS is Hong Kong's real-time gross settlement system — genuinely unusual in supporting four currencies natively, not just the local one. That makes it a strong rail for large, time-critical payments within and through Hong Kong.

Sent in your name

Every CHATS payment carries the name on your DSGPay virtual account, not DSGPay's — so the beneficiary sees exactly who's paying them, with no reconciliation delays from a mismatched sender name.

4 currencies, natively settled

HKD, USD, EUR, and RMB all settle directly over CHATS — a rare multi-currency RTGS setup that reflects Hong Kong's role as a hub for both HKD and offshore USD, EUR, and RMB activity.

Strong FX, low ticket costs

Competitive FX pricing combined with low, fixed ticket costs makes CHATS Payments a cost-effective way to move large-value payments in or through Hong Kong.

Real-time gross settlement

Each CHATS payment settles individually, on a gross basis, with no netting — immediate and final during CHATS operating hours.

Same-day settlement

HKD payments benefit from a same-day cut-off extending to 11pm, alongside FPS availability — giving you a longer window to get a large payment settled the same business day.

Confirmation on request

Request a payment confirmation as proof of a CHATS payment — useful for supplier disputes, audits, or your own internal finance records.

What CHATS Payments are built for

When it's large, time-critical, and stays close to Hong Kong.

1. Large local supplier payments

Pay Hong Kong-based manufacturers, vendors, and service providers directly in HKD, in your company's name.

2. Cross-currency settlement via the Hong Kong hub

Settle USD, EUR, or RMB legs of a transaction natively over CHATS, without needing a separate correspondent-bank route for each currency.

3. Treasury & inter-entity transfers

Move funds between your own Hong Kong-linked entities or accounts at large-value ticket sizes.

4. Time-critical, same-day transfers

For payments that need to settle the same business day — CHATS' extended HKD cut-off gives you room most cross-border rails don't.

Real-time settlement

Final and irrevocable
