Despite uncertainties concerning regulations, Antler India is optimistic about where the blockchain ecosystem in the country is headed and its potential to become a global hub.
Reportedly, JP Morgan is holding talks with multiple leading lenders to onboard Liink.
Liink’s has a new feature that lets banks pre-validate accounts to prevent fraud.
The State Bank of India (SBI) has joined hands with JP Morgan in a deal that will see it use the US bank’s blockchain-powered payment network, Liink. A report unveiled this news on February 23, citing sources familiar with the matter. Reportedly, this collaboration will help SBI’s customers execute transactions rapidly and at reduced costs.
According to the report, SBI’s clients currently have to wait up to two weeks to complete cross-border transactions. However, with this partnership, Liink will reduce the time taken to resolve a cross-border transaction to a few hours. In so doing, the network will help cross-border payments reach their beneficiaries swiftly and with few steps as compared to the current setup.
