Banking Industry

in South Africa 

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) partnered with seven other banks to develop a blockchain-based interbank system that handles daily payments in less than two hours while ensuring secrecy and finality of data. Hacking and system breakdowns pose a threat to the banking industry. The reconciliation payments are ineffectual, despite the substantial cost of dealing with these difficulties. Ultimately, banks bear the whole cost of uncovering questionable transactions.
