The Blockchain Revolution: The Impact of Distributed Ledger Technology on the Payments Industry

  • This thesis focusses on the question whether the Blockchain and its distributed ledger technology is impacting cross-border interbank payment and causes the disappearance of intermediaries in the transaction process. It finds that the payment industry is constantly evolving and Blockchain could upgrade payment clearing and settlement systems and eliminate trust-creating third parties. The distributed ledger technology, its operating principles and how cryptography can create trust between two sides will be further examined. Secondly, it compares the current interbank cross-border system with the distributed ledger technology and concludes that decentralisation of cross-border interbank payment can resolve long existing problems in the banking industry. At last, this thesis elaborates the critical factors that impact the technology shift towards Blockchain in the financial sector.
