Toss Bank Teams Up with Solana for Blockchain-Based Remittance Infrastructure

Toss Bank, an internet-only bank in South Korea, has partnered with the Solana Foundation to develop and test cross-border remittance infrastructure on Solana. This deal marks another significant partnership between a major South Korean financial institution and the Solana Foundation.

The agreement will be the starting point for Toss Bank's gradual integration of blockchain-based digital financial infrastructure into its services. Park Jin-hyeon, head of strategy at Toss Bank, stated that this partnership is the beginning of a future where Toss Bank's 15 million customers can experience faster and more cost-effective global digital finance with Solana.

The initial phase will focus on a proof of concept for global remittance and settlement. The MoU lays out three areas of cooperation between the bank and the Solana Foundation, including the assessment of stablecoins' ability to reduce the cost and speed of overseas transfers.
