As per the latest reports, JPMorgan has gone ahead and formed a partnership with DBS, which is the largest bank in Singapore. On top of that, JPMorgan has formed another partnership with Temasek, which is an investment firm backed by the state of Singapore.

This functionality would ensure that no matter the transaction type, they will be settled and executed in an instant. This service would prove essential for banks in taking care of challenges they face in terms of global payments and transactions.
JPMorgan shared the information around the launch and new features offered by Partior on Wednesday, April 28, 2021.
This is not the first time JPMorgan has introduced a feature like this for international users. Prior to this, JPMorgan and Temasek had both partnered to introduce a new project called Ubin. The project was also based on the blockchain network and was oriented towards enabling transactions in multi-currencies.
AT that time, one of the major regulatory authorities took the initiative from Singapore. The name of the regulatory authority that initiated the process the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The firm had reportedly launched its services back in 2017.
