Specific examples of blockchain use cases in banking include international remittances‚ trade finance‚ and identity management․ In international remittances‚ blockchain enables faster and cheaper cross-border payments by eliminating intermediaries and reducing transaction fees․ By using cryptocurrency or blockchain as a bridge currency‚ banks can streamline the process and offer more competitive exchange rates․
