KRW transactions totalled KRW 120 million, with the Bank of Korea among five testing central banks and Hana Bank, KB Kookmin Bank, NongHyup Bank, Shinhan Bank and Woori Bank among the testing financial institutions. Average time from payment initiation to settlement was about 80 seconds even though the prototype was not integrated with RTGS and core banking systems.
