One of the most discussed topics in the financial services industry today is blockchain. When it becomes a fully mature technology, it is expected that banks will be able to process payments almost real time, absolutely accurately and reduce transaction processing costs. It has been found that the technology can keep track of transactions, track ownership, become a reliable and tamper-proof source of information about almost any type of property, create smart contracts and when combined with open banking, lead to faster, automated lending decisions in a marketplace, promote and facilitate financial inclusion in a more efficient manner and control and eliminate frauds. However, what we today know about blockchain is very limited compared to the scope it has, especially in areas other than banking, like in regulation, privacy, data protection etc.
