Swiss bank UBS has created and effectively trialed a blockchain-driven payment solution aimed at enhancing the transparency and security of cross-border transactions while accelerating their processing times.
UBS, recognized as the largest private bank globally by assets under management, declared the successful conclusion of its pilot payment initiative, UBS Digital Cash. This new offering operates on a private blockchain and is tailored for cross-border, multi-currency transactions.
UBS Digital Cash aims to enhance the efficiency and transparency of payments, along with the programmability of remittances for corporate and institutional clients. Furthermore, the solution streamlines intraday liquidity management and adjustments to liquidity buffers through better oversight of overall cash positions.

Settlement within UBS Digital Cash is automated via smart contracts. The implementation of a decentralized ledger enables transactions to be executed continuously in near real-time, irrespective of the currency utilized.
Throughout the pilot phase, several transactions involving UBS partners across various nations, as well as domestic transactions within Switzerland, were successfully executed. Cross-border payments were conducted in U.S. dollars, Swiss francs, euros, and Chinese yuan. The pilot also included the transfer of liquidity among different UBS-managed entities.
Andy Kollegger, Head of Institutional and Multinational Banking at UBS, stated in a press release that blockchain-based solutions for cross-border payments represent a key area of growth for the bank. Consequently, UBS intends to further advance and expand the success of UBS Digital Cash moving forward.
The UBS Digital Cash initiative complements UBS’s participation in several market projects, including the Swiss National Bank’s (SNB) Project Helvetia, which seeks to evaluate the local wholesale central bank digital currency (wCBDC), and the Bank for International Settlements’ (BIS) Project Agorá, which is examining tokenized commercial bank deposits in the realm of cross-border payments.
