Bottomline has launched Global Pay Connect, a new platform that connects over 600 banks to blockchain payment rails using Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). This platform integrates major global payment networks like Swift and SEPA, addressing outdated infrastructure issues that hinder real-time payments. It offers unified connectivity, ISO 20022 compliance, real-time payment visibility, and AI-driven insights, enabling banks to modernize operations without replacing existing systems. The partnership with Chainlink extends Bottomline's reach to onchain payment workflows, supporting emerging payment models such as digital assets and tokenization.
