Tata Consultancy Services’ New Crypto Services Solution Allows Banks and Investment Firms to enable investments and portfolio diversification into Cryptocurrencies and Digital Assets for their clients.

MUMBAI, July 8, 2020: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading global IT services, consulting, and business solutions organization, announced the launch of its Quartz™ Smart Solution for Crypto Services, a next-gen, digitally powered offering for banks and investment firms to provide secure and seamless cryptocurrency trading to their clientele.

The solution is designed to support multiple cryptocurrencies and stable coins, digital currencies linked to fiat currencies, trading venues and public blockchain networks, thus offering choice and flexibility to customers when deciding their trading and investment strategies. Importantly, it can help banks and investment firms offer their customers the ability to transfer payments in the form of ‘digital cash’, and benefit from lower transaction costs and quicker access to liquidity.

Quartz Smart Solution for Crypto Services comes integrated with a best-in-class hardware security module that enables cryptographic signing of each transaction, thereby ensuring security and authenticity. With state-of-the-art features such as multi-signature wallets with an in-built authorization engine that enables configurable transaction approval policies, blockchain forensic checks, auto reconciliation and compliance alerts, exchange and OTC desk connectivity and audit capabilities, among others, it ensures that a transaction is executed only after proper validation as well as authorization by the user.

“Cryptocurrencies, digital fiat currencies and digital assets are poised to become viable alternate avenues for investments, hedging and portfolio diversification. Progressive financial institutions are looking to provide these options to their clientele. We are excited to offer them our robust, secure and scalable solution for trading, storing and transfer of these assets. We believe Quartz is well ahead of the curve in providing such a solution that allows customers to transact in multiple cryptocurrencies and digital assets, backed by best-in-class security features,” said R Vivekanand, Global Head, Quartz, TCS.
