In Argentina, Banco Masventas revealed that, starting next Monday, it will allow its customers to make cross-border payments using Bitcoin.
In partnership with the Latin American market startup, Dicks, founded in 2014, this bank will use Bitcoin as a means of payment for cross-border transactions, as an alternative to the traditional Swift system.
I'm very surprised at this information. It seems to me that the Argentine bank that adopted this decision is not a state bank. It's probably some kind of PR, not a sober calculation. Bitcoin is not designed to serve the banking system. A ripple coin is very suitable for this. It is a good substitute for the outdated SWIFT banking method when transferring funds.
