03 May 2017 Evaluate

Infosys’ wholly owned subsidiary - Infosys Finacle, part of EdgeVerve systems and the Commercial Bank, Qatar’s first private bank, along with its subsidiary and associates (Group), have successfully completed a pilot on the first ever cloud-based blockchain network to process international remittances. The Commercial Bank, along with its subsidiary Alternatifbank (ABank) in Turkey and its associates National Bank of Oman (NBO) in Oman and United Arab Bank (UAB) in the UAE, have formed a grid for routing cross border business transactions across the India-GCC corridor.

This is among the busiest remittances corridor in the world, as per the World Bank report. The blockchain network of Commercial Bank Group was created in a matter of weeks, independent of the underlying core banking systems at each of the banks. The network is built on an asset-agnostic cloud-based ledger with which the banks are able to automate inter-organizational processes, reducing the risk of fraud and enabling greater transparency.

In the next phase of this project, the Commercial Bank will focus on trade finance transactions, particularly the transmission of secure documents and smart contracts. The blockchain network powered by Infosys Finacle, will allow all trade finance transactions to be paperless, further simplifying the process of digital exchange of purchase orders and invoices.
