Virtual Buddy Bank™: Your New Best Friend
What exactly is a Virtual Buddy Bank, and why do banks need one? A Virtual Buddy Bank™ acts as a simulated counterparty bank, allowing you and your colleagues to test payment schemes and payment rails without having to coordinate testing with another real bank.
Read our latest blog to learn more about our approach and the benefits of Virtual Buddy Bank™ and find more information on the XMLdation website.
The Buddy Bank is available now on RT1 and TIPS. Stay tuned for news about the launch of Virtual Buddy Bank™ for North American payment rails.
