15 R3 Members Trial Distributed Ledger Tech for Trade Finance
Fifteen R3 members announced today they have completed a distributed ledger trial focused on applications in trade finance.
Banking consortium R3CEV revealed today that 15 of its members have completed a distributed ledger trial focused on applications in trade finance.
The test reportedly focused on how its distributed ledger platform Corda could be used in accounts receivable invoicing and letter-of-credit (LC) transactions. Further, it follows news that Bank of America, HSBC and the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore completed a similar trial today using software created by the Linux-led Hyperledger project.
