How is it possible that in the Internet age, a bank transfer is settled between 1 and 4 calendar days? As former employees of the banking sector, it always surprised us that a SWIFT message of an open letter of credit in Japan takes just a few seconds to transmit all necessary information to a Spanish bank.

If we add that the trade settlement is conducted the day after it has entered commercial operation, we believe that not everything is a flexible and economical system. Perhaps credit institutions or national chambers of compensation have not been hard enough to improve processes and settlement information, through given tacit acceptance to its premises when using their services. Nevertheless, following the liberalization of payment systems, regulation of payment institutions and the establishment of the unified European payments area (SEPA), we saw an opportunity to develop alternative system that is capable of recording, accounting and settling financial transactions between users of different financial institutions, cheaper than any other methods, and in real time
