AEON Financial building new platform for Asian market powered by IBM Blockchain

Published by CryptoNinjas.net
06/26/2017

AEON Financial Service and IBM Japan today announced they are building a blockchain-based financial platform for the Asian market.
With blockchain technology, the platform is expected to enable AEON Financial Service to provide enhanced financial services such as settlement and transactions for both consumers and enterprises in Japan and throughout Asia, including virtual currency payments between individuals and businesses, loyalty points allocation and redemption, and transaction data management.
AEON Financial Service, a group of the largest retail companies in Japan, provides a range of financial services including banking, credit, and micro-finance to customers in Japan and 11 other countries across Asia. The company is working with IBM to develop a new payment network for consumers and enterprises in both Japan and the Asia region, using advanced technologies like blockchain to provide consumers with the tools they need to seek more prosperous lives.

Masaaki Mangetsu, AEON

Masaaki Mangetsu, Managing Director, Global Business Strategy, AEON Financial Service:

“Based on settlements and transactions, AEON Financial Service is working to build a platform that will offer various financial services such as virtual currency payments and loyalty points exchange and redemption not only to customers in Japan but also throughout Asia.”
“We foresee great opportunities in using blockchain to build this platform, and will aim to use it to improve our current financial services offerings, as well as offering new services to underserved customers in Asian countries.”

Yoshiki Minowa, Vice President, Partner – Cognitive Process Transformation, Global Business Services, IBM Japan:

“As an innovative technology, blockchain has the potential to revolutionize ways businesses work together with their ecosystem partners. The technology establishes accountability and transparency while streamlining business processes. We are delighted to work with AEON Financial Service to build up a new blockchain-based platform for innovations.”

The trial will be conducted on Hyperledger Fabric, a blockchain framework and one of the Hyperledger projects hosted by The Linux Foundation. IBM is a Premier Member of Hyperledger, an open source collaborative effort created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies.
IBM Blockchain solutions enable companies to store and share transaction records on the blockchain and can be governed by smart contracts that define transaction rules on the ledger.
The offering is underpinned by secure encryption technology that validates transactions from the infrastructure layer. This feature helps enable enterprises to form blockchain networks within a specific industry and organization and build sharable models as they work to build production networks.
In the trial, IBM Japan will provide technical support to AEON Financial Service for the technology implementation in the finance sector, as well as associated technology development services. The platform will draw upon AEON’s technical expertise in networking and blockchain technology.
The initial pilot will evaluate blockchain’s effectiveness across these key areas to assess its ability to scale.
