  • Using Replicated Ledger to Reduce Swift Costs
    WHITE PAPER USING REPLICATED LEDGER TO REDUCE SWIFT COSTS Abstract Nientibus et harum la aliquos que dunt harunte nat qui assimin ctincti nimoloratur? Quis sin enim expello rescitis aliberiosam, sumendu cienimil es ab in pelibus antiunt, eatur sit volorec tetur, occus asi suntiss imporer eperis dolupta que quid quatis mo volorit quas maio. Im acest, eos si beat. Ur? Nonseque reribus. Itatium re, nissi nullupietur audis sit adis con non corrum fugias eosae nones nonsenimus Itate esto moluptatur autatis sinctota dolent labo. Sum autem reriossum eos acerestectur rem que et haribus vel etur Introduction This paper proposes an approach to build a payment product that could be deployed across units of same bank or banks which have correspondent relationships, to reduce SWIFT message costs and to conserve liquidity by reducing need for Settlement and Nostro accounts. The paper proposes an outline of a product that implements a replicated, single wrapper around existing ledgers of such bank units to enable quick, irrevocable, tamper-proof approach to managing electronic payments between correspondent bank units. Existing ledgers of the bank would not be replaced or disturbed. Instead a wrapper application would be deployed that tracks specific entries in the ledger and replicates the changes to all members. This enables each member bank to see the same ledger at the same time and also be guaranteed of its accuracy. For this purpose, it is recommended the product be built using Blockchain for established and proven security. Such a replicated ledger would reduce active, recurring costs of using SWIFT network to pass payment messages. This will also reduce the much larger passive cost of holding funds in a non- remunerative settlement a/c with the correspondent bank.
