Seba Crypto AG, a cryptocurrency bank from Switzerland has inked
Seba Crypto AG, a cryptocurrency bank from Switzerland has inked a deal with Hypothekarbank Lenzburg AG, a mortgage bank from the same country, in order to be able to use its basic banking system called the Finstar.
According to the press release, the idea is to:
“During the project phase, the Finstar® platform will be optimized for the open and decentralized software architecture used by SEBA. The existing core banking system will be provided with various interfaces to enable SEBA not only to use conventional Finstar® services, but also to process emission, trading and storage transactions with crypto currencies and blockchain products. The project phase will be completed in the second quarter of 2019.”
Given that the project is due to be completed so soon, it is expected that Seba will be able to make good and efficient use of the Finstar’s benefits at the earliest. The most exciting part of this deal is naturally the benefits that are likely to be translated into the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based services or solutions offered by Seba.

“We are pleased to have found a stable and efficient platform for our transactions with crypto currencies and blockchain products with the mortgage bank Lenzburg’s Finstar® core banking system.
