Swiss Banks Make Cross-Border Payments Swift, Secure and oh-so-Smart with Google Cloud!

by

AMINA Bank and Crypto Finance pull off a dazzling display of distributed ledger technology for near-instant, compliant financial transactions-all on Google Cloud’s Universal Ledger platform. How very 21st century of them!

In a stunning (but utterly predictable) feat of technological wizardry, Swiss financial institutions AMINA Bank and Crypto Finance have completed a pilot that demonstrates the brilliance of distributed ledger technology (DLT). This marvel, conducted on the Google Cloud Universal Ledger (GCUL) platform, showcases how cross-border payments can now settle in near-real-time, 24/7, with the same old banking security and compliance standards we all know and love-how quaint.

The pilot is a delightful solution to the age-old problem of inefficiencies in global payments, all while ensuring that we don’t have to deal with any new, troublesome digital currencies (thank goodness). “Google Cloud’s GCUL is proof that innovation and stability aren’t mutually exclusive,” says Franz Bergmueller, AMINA Bank’s CEO. Well, of course. Next up: scaling the platform with more financial institutions, and perhaps making global payments feel like a Sunday stroll in the park.
