Fnality International focuses on enabling a seamless global liquidity management ecosystem and empowering new digital payment models for transactions in wholesale financial markets and emerging tokenised asset markets.

Fnality International

The future is accelerating fast. Digital transformation is changing our lives, work and business. While other sectors are evolving, financial markets are slow, fragmented and siloed. What the world needs is a future-facing financial system that can not only cope with this rapid pace of change, but also shape it. 

At Fnality, we have been speaking and listening to the real users of today’s financial systems. From businesses to banks, there is a clear, collective ambition. They all need a simpler, faster, safer and more resilient system; one that can move and settle money quickly and efficiently, with minimised risk and greater transparency.

To make this a reality, we are bringing together a community of passionate people, institutions and partners who have the right mindset with market & technical knowhow. By blending their expertise, creativity and compliance, we have the power to enable a decentralised, distributed financial market infrastructure. 

Our multidisciplinary team of leaders, innovators and collaborators work in Agile iterations and constantly adapt to new ideas, technologies and challenges. Together, we are creating a network of distributed Financial Market Infrastructures (dFMIs); a collection of next generation payment systems enabling on chain wholesale exchange of value in central bank money. 

We are passionate about the possibilities this innovation presents. Together we can enable businesses to focus on their future growth, without worrying about the inefficient processes of the past. The future looks even brighter; further interoperability with other DLT systems to support the rapid growth of tokenised markets means even greater benefits in the years to come.

By assembling the brightest minds, leveraging the right technology and aligning with the strongest partners, we’re well on our way to achieving our goals. Our journey will not end there though, because we are committed to continual improvement. Iteration and evolution are in our DNA.

#Fnalityin2022 Milestone 10

Our latest POC completion - the first test DvP settlement across our payment system and HQLAᵡ’s Digital Collateral Registry. 

The successful completion of this tranasction is significant as it opens the doors for the delivery of the first live intraday repo trade in production and also demonstrates the applicability of the HQLAX model beyond DvD.

Our successful PoC completion of the first of its kind cross-chain FX settlement transaction test across the Finteum Corda-based Platform and the Fnality Payment System.

This transaction proved that interoperability could be achieved in both directions between Corda and Enterprise Ethereum, meaning banks would be able to execute a FX swap trade in the Finteum Platform and settle it via our payment system in under 10 seconds.

As part of our reflection on 2022 we definitely want to mention the many opportunities we had to speak at a variety of key industry events. We enjoyed sharing our expertise and meeting other industry leaders at events such as Point Zero Forum in Zurich, Fintech Nexus in London, the BBVA conference in Madrid and numerous other panels held by partners and fellow fintechs (Sibos, #Merge2022, the list goes on). 

Thank you to everyone and we look forward to seeing you all again next year.

It was a hugely significant moment when HM Treasury issued a Recognition Order to us, which officially recognised the Sterling Fnality Payment System as a systemically important payment system in the UK.

This brought our payment system into the Bank of England’s regulation scope and made our payment system the very first DLT-based, fully-regulated payment system in the world.

Collaborating with The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) on their Project Ion Platform, alongside other industry-leading companies, was an opportunity to explore the intricacies of DLT. 

The Project Ion Platform represents one of the largest DLT initiatives in the industry, with the ability to process over 100,000 equity transactions each day using DLT, and it was a collaboration we were hugely excited to be a part of.

We were pleased to be mentioned in this Coindesk interview with Nick Davey at Payment Systems Regulator (PSR). The PSR will be responsible for regulating digital settlement assets and cryptoassets if the proposed legislation (the Financial Services and Markets Bill 2022) becomes law (currently under review in Parliament). The PSR already regulates Fnality. The article notes that Fnality’s use of distributed ledger technology (DLT) can help the PSR examine how regulation may have to adapt to new technology. We continue to engage constructively with the PSR and are happy to support this work.
