Among these services are keeping an electronic money account, issuing payment instruments and exchanging currencies or remittance.
All this will be done leveraging Billon’s DLT enterprise system.

“With it we will be able to offer companies all over Europe a whole range of accounts and payments solutions that unleash the potential of our high-performance DLT system.
“We can present a wide range of B2B2C applications, such as P2P transfers, micropayments for multimedia content, e-commerce, or corporate payments at much lower cost than with legacy banking systems.”

The firm already has a licence from the Financial Conduct Authority, which enables it to issue electronic money in the UK.
