Recent Intertrader and Systemics alliance brings forth digital dollar from
Hansa Bank
Edinburgh (UK), Anguilla (British West Indies), 15th March 2001:
Rachel Willmer, CEO of Intertrader Ltd (Edinburgh, UK), today became the
first purchaser of the new digital dollar issued by Hansa Bank (Anguilla,
British West Indies). Hansa Bank is the only offshore bank in Anguilla, a
noted centre for financial cryptography. Hansa has been a consistent
supporter of the conferences of the same name, held annually in the
Caribbean. Lynwood Bell went on to say: "This represents an important step
forward in the field of online payments. Hansa Bank and Hansa.net Global
Commerce, Inc. are dedicated to incubating and accelerating technology in
new microfinance and digital trading fields. Having digital dollars will add
an important trading facility in many B2B applications."
Rachel Willmer, CEO of Intertrader (Edinburgh, UK), said "I am delighted
that the 'Hansa Bank dollar' is now a reality. The CashBox suite of
supported payment instruments will soon be enlarged to offer the dollar and
other Ricardian contracts, alongside Mondex and e-gold, to enable easy usage
of digital dollars in the online retail sector."
Ian Grigg, CEO of Systemics, added: "Anguilla is a 'technology campus' for
innovations like ours. We needed to meld our governance model into that of a
forward thinking bank. We could only have done that with an institution like
Hansa who already model themselves on the evolving Internet economy."
The three companies involved all recognise that building the new economy is
about partnering. "It's a mistake to think you can build a financial system
with just one company, or even an alliance of similar companies. Before we
can build in the reliability needed to eliminate risk, we must have an
interlocking network of diverse institutions, working together in separate
roles, but all separately owned and governed" said Ian Grigg.
