Totaro said: “Tassat’s track record and market leadership in digital payments makes it an innovator in the industry. Blockchain-based applications are continuing to gain momentum, and TassatPay® has already delivered substantial success in growing customers and deposits for banks. We are now poised to provide this real-time payments platform to the broader marketplace, and I am excited to join Tassat on its journey as an innovator in the space.”
