Why am I here today?
Well my dear friends at R3 asked me if I would talk about LenderComm at CordaCon.
I couldn’t make it at the time due to budget concerns, so Harrison goes : What about few Ripples ? We have options… What about Bitcoins? You could buy socks made of lama wool for Mike Hearn… Ep11-5@10:50
In all seriousness, I am here because I am a believer that Corda is a excellent thing for the industry and that LenderComm is a great example of how financial institutions can take advantage of a Distributed Ledger
Learning is not a by product of innovation. It’s a vital function.
Finastra is a Financial Software vendor with 10000 employees and a global presence around the world.
The two numbers of interest regarding Corda adoption is that we have 9000 customers today that we can educate about the adoption of a DLT. We have 48 of the top 50 banks in the world. In other words, a good footprint to start a technical revolution.
Objective : Introduce Syndicated lending
Replacing 19 millions faxes (1 mile high paper stack)
From a technical standpoint, we are connecting Agent Banks and Lender using a Corda distributed ledger.
