Quick take<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 minute read<\/strong><\/p>\n HDBank, a massive financial institution based in Vietnam has become the first of its kind in the country to issue letters of credit using blockchain technology.<\/span><\/p>\n According to a report that was released earlier this week on the 6th of January, the issuance document presentation and successful payment of L\/C on the blockchain highlights a massive achievement for the institution’s mission to become a “happy digital bank“.<\/span><\/p>\n Participants involved in this first transaction were a local fiber importer and a yarn manufacturer in Taiwan.<\/span><\/p>\n For those that don’t know, letters of credit are extremely important when it comes to international trading. This is because it can provide a guarantee from an institution worthy of credit. A good example of this is a bank. By utilising the power of blockchain for L\/C, there are numerous advantages at hand. Providing a higher level of security and a permanent record of the transaction can also reduce the time that is needed to process such transactions to a matter of hours.<\/span><\/p>\n With the institution becoming the first bank in Vietnam to issue letters of credit through the blockchain, will other local banks follow suit? Only time will tell; however, the power of blockchain is very much proven at this point so it would be foolish not to take advantage of it in today’s world.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
