HDFC Securities Introduces SKY Direct for Instant Bank-Linked Trading Funding
HDFC Securities has launched SKY Direct, a new instant, bank-linked funding feature on its digital platform HDFC SKY, exclusively for HDFC Bank customers. SKY Direct uses a Hold-Release-Transfer mechanism allowing investors to add funds and trade instantly without pre-funding their brokerage accounts. Funds are held in the linked bank account and only transferred to the broker for executed trades at day-end, reducing idle money and improving capital efficiency. The feature aims to simplify trading by minimizing funding friction and enhancing user convenience.
