Tech Mahindra Ltd., a provider of digital transformation, consulting, and business reengineering services and solutions, and Quantoz, Netherlands-based innovative Blockchain technology application incubator, specialized in building and implementing Blockchain-based solutions, to launch ‘Stablecoin-As-A-Service’ blockchain solution for global banks and financial institutions.
This collaboration is in consideration of the OCC (Office of the Comptroller of Currency) announcement allowing federally chartered US banks to use stablecoins for standard banking functions like payments and transactions.
Rajesh Dhuddu, Blockchain and Cybersecurity Practice Leader, Tech Mahindra, said, “The recent OCC (office of the comptroller of currency) announcement promoting the use of stablecoins for the settlement of financial transactions by banks will spur demand and drive innovation in global payments. Tech Mahindra’s strategic collaboration with Quantoz will enable lower transaction processing costs, bring-in military-grade security and drive faster settlements. Banks can benefit significantly from stablecoins as they will help them compete with Fintech, that are transforming payment systems and prevent exit of customers to other avenues for payments and money remittances.”
As part of the engagement, Tech Mahindra will help customers integrate Quantoz’ NEXUS platform into their legacy infrastructure, which will enable automated token, crypto and fiat transaction processing for a variety of banking and payment functions. The platform is capable of handling multiple functions like loyalty management, remittances, ecosystem payments and treasury management.
Henri de Jong, Chief Business Development Officer of Quantoz, said, “Quantoz has focused on the interface between the classical financial world and blockchain technology from the very beginning. With our recent ISO 27001 certification for information security management and our compliance-by-design methodology, we believe we have a superior stablecoin offering that can bring numerous benefits for standard banking services. We look forward to bringing our solution to new US customers together with TechMahindra as we have previously successfully cooperated on other projects.”
