Credit Suisse has partnered with Citi to offer institutional investors real-time delivery versus payment (DVP) settlement for transactions in China A-Shares through the Shanghai Connect and Shenzhen Connect.

The solution applies to institutional investors who appoint Citi as their Special Segregated Accounts (SPSA) custodian, or as their subcustodian through their global custodian, and appoint Credit Suisse as one of their multiple execution brokers. The DVP SPSA solution applies to both northbound and southbound trades under the Stock Connect scheme.
