Malaysia has announced it’s the first-ever partnership with a private company to make easy financial services geared towards the Islamic world using blockchain technology.
It has been reported that according to Business Insider (Malaysia), TideiSun Group (iSunOne) will be working with the Malaysia Productivity Council (MPC) on a blockchain system for Islamic financial services.
MPC and iSunOne Moves Entire Islamic Financial World Forward
The partnership was announced by iSunOne, which highlighted the platform resulting from its partnership with MPC, which would be the world’s first to come from a partnership with the Malaysian Government and to be focused directly at accommodating Islamic financial services.
Tian Chua, the Chairman of Malaysia Productivity Council (MPC), explained:
“24% of the world’s population is Muslim, of which 71% do not have financial bank accounts. The financial system of the Islamic world is still very traditional and backward.” Tian Chua
He added:
“iSunOne provides global digital banking services on blockchain and delivers an innovative solution for both Islamic finance and conventional finance.” Tian Chua
