A joint venture between SBI Holdings and Ripple has inched a step closer to launching its blockchain-based payments app for consumers.
SBI Ripple Asia announced Wednesday it has completed registration with the Kantou bureau of Japan's Ministry of Finance as a licensed agent for handling electronic payments.
The move clears the regulatory path for SBI Ripple Asia to roll out its MoneyTap payments app – one aimed to facilitate peer-to-peer money transfer for retail users over a DLT network.
According to Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA), any entity wanting to operate as an agent to handle electronic payments using banks' open APIs must be registered with local finance bureaus. This legal requirement became effective as of June 1 this year, the FSA said in an announcement in May.
