The consortium enables entities
to learn to develop under
blockchain technology
Blockchain
The first Blockchain consortium in the Spanish financial sector,
Niuron
,
(comprising 8 institutions and led by Cecabank) and Grant Thornton have
developed a platform to quickly and securely verify the identity of a person
when registering as a client.
The purpose is to solve a common problem for all financial institutions that
need to ensure the truthfulness of the client’s identity when working with
them for the first time. The new platform
allows to carry out checks quickly
and securely
and always with the client’s explicit consent, strictly complying
with the current data protection regulation (GDPR) and with the highest
standards of security.
The development of this project has enabled companies to continue to
develop opportunities with blockchain technology, mostly via the transfer of
knowledge to its professional teams.
