Australian digital bank, Goldfields Money partners with fintech disruptor, Ivy Koin LLC, to explore blockchain validation solutions to legitimise digital currency transactions
Strategic Alliance with Ivy Koin LLC
Perth, Nov 28, 2018 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Australia's new revolutionary digital bank, Goldfields Money Limited (Goldfields Money or the Company)(
ASX:GMY) is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Los Angeles-based Ivy Koin LLC (Ivy), a developer of blockchain-based solutions for financial institutions to validate and cater to compliance needs for fiat & digital currency business transactions.
Under the agreement Goldfields Money & Ivy will be working closely together to commercialise the use of blockchain technology in banking to validate and legitimise digital currency to fiat transactions in the traditional banking framework.
Goldfields Money has recently revamped its digital banking platform and has a modern mindset working to cater for the needs of technology savvy consumers. Ivy's technology is a perfect solution to explore new digital currency markets.
Ivy uses blockchain and utility tokens to provide an innovative solution for validation. These tokens will carry "Know your Customer" (KYC) and "Know your Transaction" (KYT) information, critical for financial institution validation and will allow Goldfields Money to open new revenue streams from digital assets and meet Anti-Money Laundering, KYC and other regulatory requirements.
Simon Lyons, Managing Director of Goldfields Money said "The technology behind digital currencies really can't be ignored."
"The biggest issues for the traditional banking sector in dealing with digital currencies are ensuring that financial institutions meet their compliance obligations and are able to adequately identify the source of funds, the identity of an account holder and verify other aspects of these transactions."
"We are excited to be working with Ivy to pioneer solutions to ensure compliant validation occurs that meets the stringent regulatory requirements required of banks."
Ivy President, Ash Shilkin said "Digital currencies are now being adopted into the mainstream. Blockchain-based products can help drive not only the payments but also the underlying verification required by banks for the transactions to be deemed bankable as well as meeting the standards of regulators.
"This opens up new customer and revenue opportunities for banks like Goldfields Money.
"As our banking partner in Australia, Goldfields Money will make it easier and safer for Australians to switch between digital and fiat currencies."
This announcement comes during a time of increased interest in KYC and KYT technologies, as they are necessary for banks, financial institutions and exchanges to meet regulatory requirements. The partnership between Ivy and Goldfields Money is a step toward further integration of blockchain technology into other established financial institutions.
