Banks get a new blockchain platform for promissory notes

-


Advancements in blockchain technology are proving beneficial in the financial industry. The most recent progress is the introduction of the Finledger blockchain platform, which allows processing of promissory note loans.

According to a news release dated May 21, this new application for this type of legal binding loan agreement will be very beneficial to the entire financial industry. The test stage involved four banks, DekaBank, dwpbank, DZ Bank, and Heleba, who used finledger technology to complete note transactions. Reportedly, the platform can reduce the processes involved when issuing such notes by more than 50%.

Marion Spielmann, Head of Banking & Depositary at DekaBank, said:

 “The opportunities offered by using a blockchain take the product promissory note loan to a whole new level. Together with the other institutes, we have now successfully implemented a digitization project that allows our customers and us to handle the underlying processes completely on a platform-based basis. This is a perfect example of how digitization can increase efficiencies across entire process chains while improving the attractiveness of a product.”

The Finledger blockchain platform will help reduce the risk associated with lending processes for banks. It also eliminates the need for lenders to request and hold documents from borrowers. Additionally, borrowers will not have to part with their valuables or assets during the transaction process. Finally, it will increase security and transparency by recording every transaction on the blockchain.

Peter Tenbohlen, Head of Operations at DZ Bank, affirms that trading transactions are now fully automated thanks to the progression of digitization. They will be able to meet the demand for digital services as requested by customers. He stated:

 “As digitization has progressed, our customers’ demand for digital services has increased significantly. Thanks to the bundled expertise of four banks, we are now presenting a new platform through which trading transactions can be processed fully automatically.”

Reportedly, there are plans to roll out finledger to other industries. The pilot business is the first step that will be followed by a second phase before going live.

Blockchain technology is taking root in the finical world. Recently, three global banks joined the Finastra R3 Cordablockchain-based syndicated loans platform, which uses blockchain to enable instant sharing of records between financial institutions.

Note: Tokens on the Bitcoin Core (SegWit) chain are referenced as BTC coins; tokens on the Bitcoin Cash ABC chain are referenced as BCH, BCH-ABC or BAB coins.

Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) is today the only Bitcoin project that follows the original Satoshi Nakamoto whitepaper, and that follows the original Satoshi protocol and design. BSV is the only public blockchain that maintains the original vision for Bitcoin and will massively scale to become the world’s new money and enterprise blockchain.

Blockchain, cryptocurrency, and other innovative techs have significant disruptive potential. Within the course of time, this fact becomes obvious not only for community enthusiasts but also for traditional industry players. That is probably the major reason for world electronic bulls to explore the innovative possibilities to boost their own progress. Microsoft showed interest in blockchain technology back in 2018. They announced their plans to apply the technology behind Bitcoin (the leading crypto by market cap) in its decentralised IDs (DIDs) App. The company was support DLT-based DIDs through Microsoft Authenticator App. However, as of now, the project seems to be frozen.    Unstoppable IBM    IBM, another technological giant, has has shown interest in exploring blockchain and cryptocurrency techs even earlier, in 2015. As of now, the company is known to take part in several related projects.   In January 2019, Ford Motor company officially launched block

Cryptocurrency Universe Expands Far Beyond Bitcoin

The code base is increasing and improving every day as computer science graduates from top schools jump on board. By Aaron Brown A sort of “cryptobrawl” broke out last month at the Milken Institute Global Conference between economist Nouriel Roubini and panel participants more optimistic about the future of cryptocurrency technologies. I had the opportunity to participate in a partial rematch at Battle of the Quants, where Roubini was just as negative and DMS Governance's John D’Agostino presented a moderate defense. All of the heat concerns the border of crypto and traditional finance, but much of the important stuff is happening far from the border. For example, one of Roubini's claims is that advances in financial technology by existing financial institutions and startups are delivering on many of the promises of crypto-enthusiasts, and these will continue to transform financial markets. That’s true. However, many of those advances were spurred by the threat of

Small-business owners more optimistic at the start of 2020, the NFIB says

The numbers: Small businesses turned more optimistic about sales and profits in the first month of 2020, but they are still struggling to find qualified workers, according to a closely followed survey. The National Federation of Independent Business said its index of small-business optimism rebounded from a small dip in at the end of last year, rising to 104.3 points in January from 102.7 in December. Business owners were more confident that sales would continue to rise and help support higher profits, the NFIB said. What happened: The net percent of owners who expect higher inflation-adjusted sales in the months ahead rose by 7 points to 23%. By and large, business owners were nonplussed by the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. A gauge that measures uncertainty was basically unchanged. The biggest worry of small businesses continues to be a shortage of skilled employees available for hire. A quarter of owners say it’s their No. 1 problem — more than taxes or re
