JBA does the assessments of the effectiveness of payment solutions and guides banks through the issues involving the use of new technologies to better their services.
In this new deal, Fujitsu will provide a blockchain platform where JBA member banks can then utilize to test several business use cases.
JBA member banks will start creating their own applications next month for the blockchain platform to test several ideas to find out which of them are viable for real-world implementation.
