HSBC’s quantum leap: What it means for banking
This episode is in collaboration with
Philip Intallura
Global Head of Quantum Technologies, HSBC
Quantum computing still sounds like something from science fiction until you hear how fast it’s getting real. In finance, that means everything from cryptography to portfolio modelling is about to change.
In this episode of BT Podcasts by The Business Times, produced in collaboration with HSBC, host Howie Lim sits down with Philip Intallura, global head of quantum technologies at HSBC, to explore how one of the world’s biggest banks is preparing for the next big tech revolution.
This isn’t a lecture on physics. It’s a practical look at how quantum could change the way money moves, trades are secured, or even how fraud is detected. They explore why getting this right isn’t optional because whoever gets there first will set the rules of the game.

Why this episode matters
Modernising cryptography before the clock runs out. Quantum computers will one day crack today’s encryption. Intallura explains how HSBC is upgrading cryptography now before those attacks become real.
From “sci-fi” to strategy. Intallura shares where quantum is already being tested in live financial applications.
The real cost of being late. Quantum systems are expensive and not yet commercially proven but waiting too long could mean losing billions in opportunity.
Collaboration is the multiplier. From MAS-backed trials to partnerships with startups and universities, hear how industry-wide cooperation is accelerating readiness.
Skills, ethics, and the human factor. Quantum won’t replace bankers with physicists but it will require the next pivot with new translators, technologists, and governance to keep finance trusted.
If you want to understand how finance is gearing up for this quantum era, this conversation is a learning resource; listen now.
