Morgan, which served as both settlement and beneficiary bank in the initial live transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The launch operationalises a partnership first announced in 2024, marking the opening corridor in a broader plan to expand currencies, routes, and participating banks. Partior\u2019s multi-currency ledger enables continuous clearing and settlement rather than batch processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anith Daniel, Group Head of Transaction Banking Services at Emirates NBD, highlighted the move as redefining cross-border payments by delivering speed, transparency, and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This development strengthens Emirates NBD\u2019s position in digital banking and cross-border services. The bank continues to invest in blockchain and distributed ledger technologies to enhance its offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Partior network, backed by major financial institutions, aims to transform global payments infrastructure. Emirates NBD\u2019s participation positions it as a pioneer in the MENAT region for blockchain-based settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further expansion to additional currencies and corridors is expected in the coming period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/villpress.com\/support-villpress\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"926\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/villpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Support-Villpress-Journalism-new.png\" alt=\"Support Villpress Journalism\" class=\"wp-image-10783\" \/><\/a><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emirates NBD has become the first bank in the Middle East, North Africa and T\u00fcrkiye (MENAT) region to enable live real-time cross-border US dollar payments using blockchain technology on the Partior network.
