Allied Bank Partners with Paysys Labs to Pilot Interledger Protocol for Cross-Border Payments

Categories: News Updates

Allied Bank, one of Pakistan’s leading commercial institutions, has partnered with Paysys Labs, a pioneer in next-generation payment technologies, to pilot the Interledger Protocol (ILP) for cross-border transactions.

As part of this strategic collaboration, Paysys Labs recently secured the prestigious Digital Financial Services Grant from the Interledger Foundation (ILF). Embracing ILF’s vision to “send a payment as easily as an email,” Paysys Labs — in partnership with Allied Bank — will develop a Proof of Concept (PoC) for implementing a node on the ILP Test Network.

This initiative will enable Allied Bank’s customer accounts to function as wallets on the global ILP network, facilitating seamless, secure cross-border payments from other registered, regulated financial institutions.

The pilot highlights both organizations’ commitments to embracing emerging technologies in a secure, compliant, and innovation-driven environment, paving the way for the future of digital financial services in Pakistan.
