Billon wants to be big in Japan

Polish blockchain venture, Billon, is extending its partnership agreement with MKI. The latter will now offer Billon’s document governance solution in addition to its e-money transaction solution throughout Asia.

“We are extending our agreement with Billon to offer customers across Japan and Southeast Asia a wealth of blockchain solutions; now including storing and managing access to confidential documents, as well as the ability to perform e-money transactions. We plan to link together proof of concept deployments with early-stage customers to ensure a smooth transition and fact-finding process for potential blockchain projects,” says Takumi Onodera, Deputy General Manager of MKI.

“The Japanese financial and insurance sector considers blockchain to be the solution to optimise and modernise effective communication with their clients,” says Andrzej Horoszczak, CEO and founder of Billon. “Japanese companies attach particular importance to electronic delivery services with active confirmation and remote online agreements. The issue of cashless payments is also significant because the Japanese market may become one of the most promising for companies offering such solutions in the coming years.”
