The British Standards Institution (BSI), the business improvement and standards company, has joined a new Innovate UK project as a consortium partner to help digitise the UK’s fresh produce supply chains.
The two-year ‘Trusted Bytes’ initiative led by Produce Logistics will see the use of digital technology to facilitate the flow of goods across international borders and increase efficiency for the UK food sector. This will help to create proof of food provenance by digitising critical border transfer processes while also providing seamless real-time digital connectivity to supply chain operators. It will also enable a trusted data exchange that connects the supply chain with central government and other critical partners enhancing cross border transition, compliance and security.

NIBSS wants to tighten security around Nigeria’s Bank Verification Number (BVN) system. But there are concerns about fair competition.
On the 29th of March this year, the Nigeria Interbank Settlement Scheme (NIBSS) published an important document.
The “Approved Standard Operating Guidelines for BVN Matching System Version 2.0” document is Nigeria’s BVN operations manual. It explains how banks should enrol and verify customers for BVNs, and how institutions can access the BVN system.
BVNs – unique identification numbers for bank customers – were launched in 2014 by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Bankers’ Committee as a “Know Your Customer” (KYC) infrastructure for the financial sector.
