THE FIRST LICENSED BANK
WITH THE WIDE RANGE OF SERVICES
BOTH IN CRYPTO AND FIATCURRENCIES
The world is seizing crypto-currencies firmly. According to coinmarketcap.com, capitalization for crypto-currency as of April 11, 2017 amounted to 28,122,800,000 USD. As of April 11 this year, this figure is 270,671,000,000 USD. Despite the recent active growth of this indicator and its subsequent decline in early 2018, on the whole, over a long period of time, it is obvious that crypto-currency capitalization is growing.
The involvement of users may be estimated by the number of wallets. According to the statistics of the University of Cambridge in 2017, from 5.8 to 11.5 million wallets are considered to be “active”, and the total figure is 35 million, according to data of 2016. Compared to 2013, their number increased 4 times.
The growth is supported by the legislation of many countries, which are already starting to draw an analogy between fiat and crypto-currencies. For the previous 2017, the crypto-currency has been given legal status as a legitimate means of payment or as “private money” in more than ten countries: Japan, Singapore, Gibraltar, Cyprus, Estonia, Hong Kong, Czech Republic, Belarus, Poland, Germany, Georgia, Armenia, etc. This means that this sphere will do nothing, but develop in the future.
PRODUCTS OF THE SYSTEM
Stage 1. Current state of the system
Ecosystem of a classic bank is the first stage of implementation of our project. In this version, all operational accounting will be implemented in a typical centralized banking information system (BIS). At the moment, the personal account of any bank user enables logging and performing the following typical actions:
- creating accounts in fiat-currencies: USD and EUR
- creating wallets: BTC and ETH
- transfers in fiat-currency between users (P2P)
- transfer in crypto-currencies between users (P2P)
- crypto-fiat exchange p2p between users
- purchase and sale of crypto-currency for the user
- crediting and debiting fiat-currencies
- crediting and debiting crypto
At the moment, the personal account of the bank user has already implemented the opportunity to register and perform the following typical actions:
- Creation of accounts in USD and EUR
- Creating wallets: BTC and ETH
- Transfer in the currency between users (P2P)
- Transfer in crypto-currencies between users (P2P) • Crypto-fiat P2P exchange between users.
- Purchase and sale of crypto currency.
- Deposit and withdrarwal of fiat currency.
- Deposit and withdrarwal of crypto currency
Stage 2. Platform with API-connections
At the next stage of the project, ZODIAQ, following the provisions of the second payment directive of EU (PSD2), will unite representatives of the banking segment. Two key tools of the new platform: Payment Initiation Services Provider (PISP) and Account Information Service Providers (AISP), will be developed and introduced. Functions of API services are as follows:
- drawing, certification and transfer of orders for transfer of funds;
- data analysis and providing information on the client’s personal finances, recommendations for more effective management of savings, etc.;
- providing information to third parties (for example, in order to assess the borrower’s solvency).
Using services of its own banking service, which will be actively developed at this stage, ZODIAQ will be one of the world’s first to perform operational testing of PSD2 formalized provisions and introduce new protocols.
Stage 3. Payment blockchain platform
The world’s banking system and, in particular, ZODIAQ team are seeking this option. At this stage of implementation, the core of the bank becomes digital and goes online. The bank becomes decentralized. As a result, any payment agents begin to communicate with each other. Blockchain-platforms, banks and payment services could be examples of such agents. At this stage, everything around the decentralized blockchain-platform is transformed into API channel. The core of the bank acquires tools for integration with any kinds of payment agents. In addition, both individuals and legal entities could be the clients of the platform. In the course of this implementation, the payment block-platform could replace SWIFT completely. However, it is clear that SWIFT will remain the biggest player in the financial market for a long time, so we can use it for integration as well.
Payment blockchain platform
The blockchain-platform serves to deploy the platform at home, rather than develop an API-service from the very beginning. Services provided by our blockchain-platform:
- providing card balances;
- ensuring payments;
- ensuring security of payments.
This will be the first stable-working solution, which will allow banks accepting crypto-currencies in their regular turnover.
The use of ZODIAQ ecosystem as a multi-purpose cloud financial infrastructure with open API:
ZODIAQ strives to create a flexible platform based on an open API that allows taking advantage of blockchain technology, creating an ecosystem of interrelations between banks, sellers of the goods and services, consumers, fintech companies and regulators, becoming a key link in daily transactions.
Using our platform, users will be able to conduct transactions almost instantly, and configure their own end applications and services without creating an infrastructure, establishing integration with legislation, formalizing interaction with payment services in every new country and every new bank from the very beginning. Since the platform has already had technological and legal integration, it can connect a new player cheaper and faster.
ZODIAQ stipulates improving security requirements that introduce strong customer authentication (SCA) with online access to the account, transfer of an electronic transfer order, and ensures specific security requirements for the channels used to transmit data of the user.
ZODIAQ platform, through an open API interface, ensures data exchange with external information systems, and provides them with various ready-made services.
