A report presented to Sri Lankan central bank governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal on Monday detailed the results of a now-completed Know-Your-Customer, or KYC, proof-of-concept project.
The project Sri Lanka's central bank, known as the CBSL, included three collaborators who developed the blockchain-based KYC platform concept. The KYC platform was also tested by the CBSL and 10 regional and international commercial banks, including Amana Bank, Bank of Ceylon, Cargills Bank, Commercial Bank of Ceylon, DFCC Bank, Hatton National Bank, HSBC, National Development Bank, People’s Bank and Standard Chartered (OTC:SCBFF) Bank. The team initiated the project in July 2019 and completed the development and testing of the experimental platform on June 10 of this year.
