-- 北米でB2B向けデジタルバンキングおよびサイバーセキュリティ技術ソリューションを提供するVersaBank(VBNK.TO、VBNK)は、主要なストラクチャード・リシーブ・プログラム(SRP)パートナーであるFinanceIt Canadaと共同で、新たなリアルタイム・ストラクチャード・リシーブ・プログラム(SRP)のパイロットプログラムを開始したと、水曜日に発表した。 このパイロットプログラムの目的は、FinanceItによる本格的な導入と、カナダおよび米国におけるVersaBankの既存および将来のSRPパートナーへの同時展開に向けて、ソリューションを改良するため、「限定的な規模の実環境シナリオ」でリアルタイムSRPの「機能性と運用上の健全性」を実証することだと、同社は述べている。 「VersaBankのリアルタイムSRPは、販売時点融資における画期的なイノベーションであり、既存のSRPと同様に信頼性が高く、経済的に魅力的な資金調達ソリューションを提供するだけでなく、SRPパートナーが一定期間にわたって複数の売掛金を保管する必要性をなくすというメリットも提供します」と、同社は声明で述べている。 同社の株価は火曜日のトロント証券取引所で25.15ドルで横ばいの終値となった。
