The Bank of England's Digital Pound Lab has entered Phase 2 with NOBO Finance, Dun & Bradstreet, and Polygon Labs to test SME cross-border trade finance using stablecoin payments and digital pound settlements. The pilot aims to create reusable SME credit profiles and test invoice factoring where exporters receive stablecoin advances while importers settle in digital pounds.
