This would be a result of reduced customer onboarding headcount, reduced false positives and the need for manual intervention, and reduced headcount in training and technology.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, $300 million could be saved annually in leveraged loan trading.

Every institution is working hard on understanding what blockchain means to their system,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of blockchain replacing existing payment systems, Michael pointed out that the technology would have a better role as a supplement\u2014specifically, with smart contracts. In this case, you are \u201ctaking contracts through the automated transactions and processes of a blockchain.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Blockchain won&#8217;t blow away existing payment systems but will instead supplment them.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u2014Michael Gardner, Managing Director, BNY Mellon<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Smart contracts would have the potential to reduce costs in finance, as Michael explains, \u201ca lot of the cost right now with legal processes related to financial transactions and so forth has the potential to be highly automated, virtually instantaneous, fool-proof, and tamper-proof through the capabilities of the blockchain.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"clearfix padded-panel\"><div class=\"details-box-wrapper\" style=\"\/* background-image:url(http:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/cf-after-dark-apache-brooklyn.gif); *\/\"><div class=\"details-box-overlay details-box-overlay-a\"><\/div><div class=\"details-box\"><div class=\"section-title\">Altoros Take<\/div><div class=\"details-wrapper\"><div class=\"detail-item\"><div class=\"take\"><span>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blockchain_adoption_push_or_adapt\"><\/span>Blockchain adoption: push or adapt?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It will take some time before financial institutions and other industries truly comprehend blockchain technology and what it brings to the table.<\/p>\n<p>The initial thought on blockchain in finance is that adoption would mean making current systems obsolete.
