The company will use the funding to further develop its ledger-based interbank rails for real-time clearing and settlement and enrich them with new features, such as intraday FX swaps, Cross-currency repos, Programmable Enterprise Liquidity Management, and Just-in-Time multi-bank payments.
Per the statement, the investment will also support Partior’s international network growth, allowing the company to integrate additional currencies into its network: AED, AUD, BRL, CAD, CNH, GBP, JPY, MYR, QAR, and SAR. The company currently supports USD, EUR, and SGD currencies.
“Partior is breaking down silos and rewriting the rules for cross-border clearing and settlement. We see a very bright future for blockchain based frictionless, cross-border transactions. Having some of the world’s best banks and investors back our vision validates this even further,” Partior CEO Humphrey Valenbreder stated.The round attracted participation from Valor Capital Group and Jump Trading Group.
