Global payments: the prototype aims to improve the efficiency of transactions by leveraging distributed ledger technology

Software firm R3 plans to release a real-time international payments prototype by the end of this year, which will handle the full transaction workflow on a shared infrastructure. It aims to bring efficiency and cost benefits for conducting cross-border payments.

The solution was built with the co-operation of 22 of R3’s member banks and will be hosted on Corda, the firm’s digital ledger technology platform, through which banks can transact smart contracts directly in a secure environment.
