SEB AND NASDAQ TO BUILD BLOCKCHAIN FOR SWEDISH MUTUAL FUND MARKET

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Sept 27 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEB, the Nordic financial services group, and Nasdaq, Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ) have announced a joint project to test a developed prototype for a mutual fund trading platform based on blockchain technology. The aim is to increase efficiency in the processing of purchases and sales of fund units and to create a unit ledger - an area which today is largely characterized by manual routines, long settlement cycles and paper driven processes.

"With the help of a blockchain we can create a faster, simpler, more effective and reliable fund market," said Göran Fors, acting head of Investor Services at SEB. "Funds are increasingly important for our clients and it is with great pleasure that we can announce this important project together with Nasdaq."
