QUOTE : Ethereum and banks Now you may wonder as to what impact Ethereum has on banks and vice versa, well, Ethereum is said to be a great influence on banks. As you know, banks put in a lot of effort towards safeguarding their customers; money and interest. This can lead to high cost of maintenance. By switching to Ethereum, banks have the chance to save on some of these costs and also provide high-level safety through the use of Blockchains. Many banks including HSBC, Barclays and other such have joined hands with R3, a company that is testing out Blockchains for banks. Once they manage to set up the systems, banks will find it easier to provide customers with the choice to deal in ETH. Version
