Florida’s Cogent Bank has launched real-time B2B payments using the TassatPay private permissioned blockchain platform. The solution enables business clients to make real-time payments to other Cogent account holders 24/7.

The TassatPay solution has also been deployed by Western Alliance Bank, Signature Bank, Customers Bank and Axos Bank. To date, the offering has been used to process $450 billion in transactions and it supports smart contracts and Fedwire functionality.
