Three months ago, we reported that Iberpay, the operator of Spain’s national payment system (SNCE), had completed a trial for smart payments with five Spanish banks. Today fund distribution platform Allfunds, with more than €1 trillion ($1.17 trillion) of assets under administration says it’s participating in the second stage of those trials.
Allfunds explained that the early Iberpay tests aimed to connect the SNCE with the i-network, an Iberpay interbank blockchain network to enable smart contracts to automate payments.

The idea is to enable instant payments or payments triggered by smart contracts.
