R3, the blockchain-focused consortium of banks and tech developers, has developed an app on its DLT Corda platform focused on trade finance. The app will work in the same way as standard letters of credit, in recognition of how effective these are at mitigating risks.
It was developed with a specific test group of 12 mainly Asian and European banks, including Bangkok Bank, HSBC, Intesa Sanpaolo, and Mizuho.
The banks are now looking to pilot the app with clients, and hope to make it widely available from 2018.
