By GlobalDataIn the process, blockchain start-up Identitii will generate additional revenue as a result of its extended agreement with HSBC.
HSBC DART uses Identitii’s approach to tokenisation and integrates with HSBC’s existing receivables technology infrastructure. The fintech says it uses a unique information layer to securely communicate information associated with an invoice or payment.
This streamlines the client experience and automates the accounts receivable process for HSBC’s corporate clients and their network of buyers. And it reduces their dependence on manual processes and in turn enhances working capital efficiency.

In addition, it creates an ecosystem where clients and customers connect to improve efficiency through the secure exchange of information.”
Nick Armstrong, CEO, Identitii adds: “HSBC’s DART is an industry first. It is the culmination of innovative work undertaken by both Identitii and HSBC. It solves a particular challenge in how corporates and banks communicate and reconcile financial messages.”
“HSBC DART improves the entire accounts receivables process for corporate clients. It boosts working capital efficiency and provides increased data integrity and security.”
“We look forward to providing updates as this product is expanded into new markets,” concludes Armstrong.
