BOCHK intensifies blockchain use across retail segment

The lender processes 85% of its mortgage-related property valuations on its digital ledger.

Bank of China Hong Kong is processing 85% of its mortgage-related property valuations on its own digital ledger in line with the central bank’s push for fintech and digital banking models, according to local media reports quoting BOCHK general manager of IT Rocky Cheng Chung ngam.

“In the past, banks and real estate appraisers had to exchange faxes and emails to produce and deliver physical certificates. “Now the process can be done on blockchain in seconds,” Cheng said, adding that a growing number of trade finance deals have been conducted via blockchain tech.

Cheng was speaking at the official opening of the bank’s new ‘smart’ branch set up in Hong Kong Science and Technology Park which offers video-banking services.

“We decided to open a smart branch here, not only because it made operational sense but in the hope of interacting with other technology firms to develop more applicable fintech,” he added.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
