Finweg Platform
Use Cases

Electronic check
It replicates printed check regulation but on electronic support. It maintains the unique features of the check payments and eliminates the negative features associated with paper handling.
It offers a more efficient electronic alternative for check payments, improving risk and liquidity management, reducing clearing accounts funding needs and eliminating fraud.


Letters of credit
Integrated electronic trade relations management regulated through letters of credit. Payer, recipient, issuing bank and other players involved manage the process through a Smart contract that guarantee to all of them that the agreed terms are fulfilled and payments are automatically released.
They comply with the regulations and the specific type of letter of credit providing guarantee to the process.
Integration of all players and automatization of the process lead to a dramatic reduction of operating costs and lead times.

Term transfer
New payment model that allows interbanking wire transfers that will happen on an agreed date. It assures fund availability both on payer account and clearing bank account providing collectors confidence.
It covers a scenario that actual wire transfers cannot fulfill and creates the foundations for building more complex payment models on top of it.


Direct Debit
Integrated Direct Debit management, from direct debit contract signing between customer and service provider, payment terms (one-time, recurring, fixed or per use), to the payment process itself. All actors: customers, service providers, financial entities, share the information that is managed by a Smart contract that guarantees the fulfilment of agreements by all parties.
It eliminates the processes of notification, verification and conciliation of information among parties and creates a single immutable and irrefutable register of all stages.

Instant international transfer
International multi-currency payments management with global liquidity management.
It replicates the current model but using a blockchain platform to manage the exchange quotation process and the subsequent transfer by applying the currency exchange rate and its liquidity at each end.
Transactions are completed in real time. The liquidity of the system is managed in real time as well, drastically reducing the need of movement of money.

Electronic promissory
100% electronic end-to-end alternative that replicates the payment model of promissory notes improving the process in issues as:
- Credit risk management of promissory notes issuers.
- Promissory notes portfolio management for discounting and negotiation.
- Fraud control, eliminating it.

New Payment Solutions & Smart Payments
The platform enables the design of new payment means directly integrated with the financial systems of all Banks and the clearing and settlement systems.
New players with specific roles can be included, managed by Smart contracts that guarantee that all players work with the same business rules, in a secure, transparent and non-repudiation way.
It can be included constraints to fulfill the operations such as milestones achievement (dates, deliveries, supplies, etc.), validations by entities (notaries, registrars, authenticating officers, etc.) or automatic events (triggered by machines or systems through IoT integration).
The platform guarantees Universal Access to the payment mean and its rapid deployment.
Blockchain
Disruptive Technology
Distributed
information is replicated in a network of completely equal nodes.
Safe
There is no repository access key that can be attacked.
Unalterable
- Transactions are stored in blocks that are sealed with an unalterable code. The blocks are linked (blockchain) which makes any information alteration more difficult.
- The incorporation of transactions is performed with consensus mechanisms that ensure they are authentic and prevent their manipulation.
- Stored information cannot be modified or deleted by anyone.
Blockchain Potential (DLT)
Applied to financial processes and services
Operational simplification
DLT reduces / eliminates manual efforts required to perform reconciliation and resolve disputes.
Regulatory efficiency improvement
DLT enables real-time monitoring of financial activity between regulators and regulated entities
Counterparty risk reduction
DLT challenges the need to trust counterparties to fulfil obligations as agreements are codified and executed in a shared, immutable environment

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM
Clearing and settlement time reduction
DLT disintermediates third parties that support transaction verification / validation and accelerates settlement
Liquidity and capital improvement
DLT reduces locked-in capital and provides transparency into sourcing liquidity for assets
Fraud minimization
DLT enables asset provenance and full transaction history to be established within a single source of truth
