With 2021 looming, the uncertainty over either a hard Brexit in the future or the materialization of a deal brokered by the cut-off date of 31st December 2020 continues to dog issues, including that of financial services passporting.

What is an EBAN?
Virtual banking, e-banking, wallets, payment apps, blockchains: The future of financial technology is anything but certain. With new competing forms of online banking and payments lowering the barrier to access, many barriers still exist to moving funds between platforms, countries, and currencies. As a consequence, users are forced to choose which platform to be a part of. So how does the user make a choice? What if it making a choice was unnecessary?
Financial technology is undergoing a game changing disruption. In the emergence of the new “Open Finance” paradigm that blockchain technology represents, there is a need for consensus on the...

It's time to move the IBAN and banking infrastructure to the Blockchain and make it truly global.
What is an EBAN?
The EBAN is an electronic bank account number which is a global standard upgrade to the current IBAN system. The main features of the EBAN is that it is a global account and not tied down to one country or Bank. It is owned by the individual or company which allows for them to fully passport it.

Import & Export
Transferring money from the UK to the Eurozone involves, of course, a currency exchange. However, since the UK is (still) part of the EU, and the SEPA zone, shouldn't the transfers be easier than when transferring from, say, the USA or India?
Transfer through your bank
SEPA only forbids banks from charging extra for SEPA transfers. It doesn't force banks from using mid-market exchange rates. And quite understandably so, given that SEPA is meant to be single-currency. It doesn't concern itself with currency conversion. As a result, banks tasked with transfering money from a Pound Sterling account to a Euro account,...

Within the SEPA zone, consisting of 36 European countries, fees for bank transfers conducted in Euro are regulated - they cannot exceed the fees your bank charges you for a domestic transfer. This is in contrast to SWIFT (read more about the SEPA and SWIFT here) international payments, which can end up costing you up to €30 per transfer. Recently we encountered a customer who was sending SEPA payments, yet their bank was charging them €250 a day. How is this possible?
The difference in fees
Banks make no money from sending SEPA payments as the fees are either free or really cheap (20-50 euro cents per transfer). For example, when a person or a company in Spain sends a payment in Euro...

Bank Transfer from Europe:
Bank transfers in Europe are governed by the SEPA payment network. Single European Payment Area is an integrated banking system for the European Union. 28 countries from the European Union and 6 other countries under European Free Trade Association constitute the SEPA area. The SEPA payment system is designed for payment transfers designated in the currency Euro. The SEPA payment system works as a stand alone system with IBAN numbers as account identification factor, rather than using SWIFT codes. But SEPA payment system is designed to work well along with the SWIFT network in order to enable seamless cross border payments.
