QNB has adopted Kinexys Blockchain of JPMorgan for corporate payments



The Qatar National Bank Group (QNB), one of the largest banks of the Middle East, adopted the JPMorgan’s blockchain platform, Kinexys, to process corporate payments in Qatar, according to a Monday’s Monday report by Bloomberg.

The switch marks a departure from the barriers of the traditional banking infrastructure, where cross-border payments are limited to the end days and can take days to complete.

To a Bloomberg interviewKamel Moris, the Executive Vice President of Transactional Banking at QNB, described the development as a “manager’s dream,” pointing to the 24/7 service window with the blockchain. “We can ensure payments for two minutes quickly,” he added.

Cointelegraph reached QNB for more information, but did not receive a response by publishing.
