the process

and record-keeping tasks

Blockchain and distributed ledger technology in finance - research based analysis
Trade finance
The new platform helps optimise internal
processes for banks and reduces the risk of
documentary fraud, but the key cost efficiency
is in speeding up the time it takes to complete a
trade transaction – from as many as 20 days, to
just a few hours.
Loading the goods, issuing invoices, dealing with home
bank, getting recommendations checked, sending the
paperwork and getting it endorsed by the importing
bank. In the worst case scenario, it can take 20 days.
Since all this is physical, it’s really difficult to accelerate
that process.
Significant part of the change is made by
start-up firms
