Head of Strategy & Partnerships for Digital Assets - Treasury and Trade Solutions | Citi
In this conversation, we will discuss the growing efficiencies stemming from the digitisation of Receivable Finance, such as the increase of speed and security, and the elimination of labour-intensive manual processes achieved when applying for working capital. We will also look at how this revolution tackles the funding gap for businesses across the world, by increasing the speed of access to liquidity, as well as reducing documentation errors.
In this session, we will be journeying into the opportunities that arise from integrating financial services into non-financial platforms and examine the shift toward contextual banking products that are accessed at the point of need through the trusted brands and platforms that consumers and businesses already use. We will explore the effects smart contracts and automation have on the experience between the BaaS provider, client and the end-user. We will also look at the benefits stemming from applying AI tools to various regulatory and compliance processes, such as AML delving and KYC models.
Tokenization, the process of converting asset rights into digital tokens on a blockchain, leverages blockchain's benefits for transparency, efficiency, and accessibility. Blockchain ensures immutable records, facilitates fractional ownership, and enables efficient settlement globally, reducing costs and risks. Smart contracts automate processes like dividend distribution, enhancing efficiency, while interoperability standards foster a connected ecosystem. Moreover, blockchain's transparency enhances compliance and auditability, offering a robust infrastructure for digitizing ownership and democratizing access to assets across industries.
