Central securities depository for Hong Kong debt markets, expanding across Asia
CMU OmniClear operates Hong Kong's central securities depository (CSD) for debt instruments, owned jointly by the Exchange Fund and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing. The tech stack—Java, Spring, Oracle, IBM middleware, and SWIFT—reflects infrastructure designed for regulated, high-volume financial settlement. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering (senior-level roles dominate), signaling buildout of digital asset capabilities and system modernization rather than headcount scaling.
CMU OmniClear is a Hong Kong-incorporated entity established in 2024 as a wholly owned subsidiary of CMU OmniClear Holdings. Since January 2025, it has operated the Central Moneymarkets Unit (CMU) on behalf of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. The CMU is Hong Kong's central securities depository for debt securities. The company aspires to develop into a major regional CSD serving Asia's China and global bond markets as a unified network. Legal relationships with CMU Participants and system linkages remain with the HKMA; the HKMA retains ownership and operational control of the CMU.
