Fnality operates a wholesale payment system that enables banks to settle liabilities using central bank money. Its GBP system, regulated by the BoE, launched in 2023, with USD and EUR versions pending approval. The platform supports the tokenization of assets such as stocks and bonds, aiming to enable 24/7 trading and faster settlements.
