Finzat Block and Thomas Ho Company Ltd (THC) announce launch of first blockchain powered loan transaction network
September 20 2018 - 3:05AM
Block One Capital Inc. (TSXV: BLOK, OTCQB: BKPPF Frankfurt: ES3)
(the “Company” or “Block One Capital”), an investment company
focused on early stage and high growth opportunities in the
blockchain sector, is pleased to provide the following corporate
update.
Finzat Block LLC (“Finzat”), a Block One Capital
fin-tech portfolio company, has formed a strategic partnership with
Thomas Ho Company Ltd. (“THC”), to provide the first-ever loan
transaction capabilities built on blockchain technologies.
THC is a New York based nationally recognized leader in
asset-liability management and whole loan trading.
Finzat and THC’s network, driven by Smart
Contract technologies and blockchain applications, is designed to
streamline the participants’ operation, strengthen security
protocols, shorten transaction time and ultimately increase
profitability. Community banks and credit unions lacking scale to
fully access these benefits on their own can now have the
opportunity to do so through this network.
“Dr. Ho is a proven expert in whole loan trading
and balance sheet analysis. We believe that the synergies
created between Dr. Ho, when combined with Finzat’s own strengths
in blockchain technology, are substantial. This new
partnership has significant possibilities to create a meaningful
blockchain network effect,” said Dr. Gnanesh Coomaraswamy, Finzat
CEO.
Adding recently named senior advisor Alex J. Pollock’s expertise
in mortgage markets and strategic advice to Dr. Thomas Ho’s long
and successful track record in financial risk management and loan
trading, gives Finzat distinct advantages as it looks to offer much
needed competition in the approximate $10 trillion US residential
mortgage market. As President of the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Chicago, Mr. Pollock created the highly successful MPF mortgage
acquisition program. Finzat executives Michael Moore and Dr.
Gnanesh Coomaraswamy were also part of the MPF senior team. The
Federal Home Loan Bank mortgage acquisition programs total well
over $55 Billion today.
“THC is delighted to partner with Finzat, whose
management team has a track record of outstanding achievement in
the mortgage market and has acquired utility blockchain
technologies. We expect that Finzat will complement THC’s network
of asset-liability management analytical and transactional
technologies, which, in turn, will be greatly beneficial to our
clients,” said Dr. Thomas Ho, president of THC.
