Our Story

Transforming Financial Market Infrastructure

The global cross-border payments market is growing rapidly and moving increasing amounts of money across multiple currencies is both complex and costly. Financial institutions and their end customers also face operational inefficiencies stemming from legacy market infrastructure, such as settlement risk at each transaction phase, and uncertainties related to settlement confirmation and liquidity accessibility.

Partior’s unified ledger revolutionises wholesale settlement by offering atomic settlement across a diverse range of tokenised instruments. Whether it is commercial bank deposits or various tokenised assets, our platform streamlines the settlement process, eliminating disunified messaging, intermediaries and the need for extensive reconciliation procedures that often lead to market inconsistencies.

Partior’s network, which has achieved General Availability, addresses critical design challenges in establishing a Unified Ledger and streamlines the digital currency journey for regulated financial institutions.

Unlocking New Capabilities and Products Through a Unified Ledger

Partior’s solution addresses liquidity fragmentation by establishing a unified ledger that serves as the single source of truth across various market participants and infrastructure. This will enable instantaneous liquidity through atomic settlement between assets, thereby reducing counterparty risks. Our decentralised and programmable platform allows for the composability of transactions involving global commercial deposits and securities which unlocks wholesale settlement innovation, such as a 24x7 global liquidity marketplace, intraday FX swaps and intraday cross currency repo. The platform is also purpose-built to support commercial deposit issuance and wholesale settlement processing and designed to interoperate with next-generation central bank liquidity and traditional transactions processing platforms.
