JP Morgan’s Interbank Information Network has grown to more than 220 banks. Below is a list of 197 banks who were willing to disclose involvement in the blockchain payment information network as at the end of March. That’s up from 157 just three months ago. Plus there are plans to considerably expand IIN’s functionality and open it up to third-party developers.
Today IIN is primarily used to exchange data relating to compliance for payments, as opposed to making the payments. The aim is to address problem payments that take much longer.
Most international payments will still use SWIFT with its 11,000 banks. Although the SWIFT GPI upgrade enabled payment tracking, it doesn’t provide the communications needed to resolve compliance queries.
“Historically, correspondent banks communicate one-way, bank-to-bank, but we have transformed their interaction,” said Suresh Shetty, Blockchain Technology Lead for IIN. “When a payment detail is flagged for confirmation, different parties can interact simultaneously, requesting and sharing information.”
IIN enables the parties to share information in a permissioned way. The platform uses Quorum, the enterprise version of Ethereum developed by JP Morgan.
“The more banks that join the network, the more dramatic the reduction in payment delays,” said John Hunter, Head of Global Clearing for Treasury Services. “As the network scales, our clients’ payments will be processed faster with less operational expense.”
According to the Financial Times, Hunter said there are plans to add more functionality at the point of settlement. That’s over an above a new feature that will enable target bank accounts to be validated.
The current iteration is called IIN Resolve. A mockup indicates that future versions might include insurance.
The IIN system will go into production in the third quarter for both domestic and foreign payment data, with the most utility expected for international payments.
Plus JP Morgan plans to open up the network to third-party developers with a test network available in the third quarter. They will be able to leverage elements such as secure messaging, document file transfer and data modeling.
Many see IIN as trying to address challenges from Ripple and Stellar. One question is whether the secure messaging is purely via blockchain. If so, in some ways it competes with Symphony, the messaging technology company spun out of Goldman Sachs.
