Blockchain technologies could reduce banks' infrastructural costs by $15-20bn a year by 2022, a new report from Santander InnoVentures claims. http://www.coindesk.com/santander-blockchain-tech-can-save-banks-20-billion-a-year/Do you realise how much money is that? With such savings,the bank could raise bank deposits interest rate or lower the loans interest. That refers only to some banks,the majority are the ones who just want to keep the profits for themselves. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

For some reason they STILL keep the "blockchain tech" thing but tend to avoid the part where a cryptocurrency is basically the fuel that keeps the blockchain running.

They are finally discovering gun powder ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) It was taking long to praise blockchain technologies... Now the question is, how are they going to implement it for fiat currency? Whatever they're going to do, I bet it will be centralized.

I think nobody is stupid enough to think that saved money with blockchain tech will help customers, people in need or anyone but banks. It will be a waste and it will only make financial elites even richer. But I wonder how they will manage their own blockchain. Will they provide computing power themselves and it will be private blockchain?

If everyone uses bitcoin blockchain, your home computer will not be able to cope with the size. Some mutuals (building society) can pass on the savings.

The point of sidechains is to avoid precisely that. I see everyone talking about blockchains, but no one is saying exactly how they will do it without Bitcoin.

Competition usually forces savings to be passed onto consumers.

On the other hand it might allow smaller banks to remain competitive and scale up, such as credit unions.

Even if they find a way to make geat reductions of costs of running their banks, im sure they'll still keep charging the same ridiculous fees for the clients. Hopefully this pushes people into using Bitcoin instead of regular banking.

Banks CAN use blockchain tech to store their ledger, but they wouldn't. They will not be bold enough to ditch their databases and I think they would prefer keep their accounts data private. They can use the bitcoin blockchain to timestamp some transactions like interbank clearing and wire transfer. These wouldn't save much costs.

$20 Billion a Year, really? Anyway, I wouldn't like my bank to use the blockchain, for the excellent reason that it's public. The best banks are private institutions with all their books private, far from all eyes. A blockchain is definitely a smart way to keep a database, but each bank needs to build its one private blockchain if they think it's better than their actual solutions.

"private blockchain" ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) That makes no sense. The whole point of the blockchain is that its distributed.

There are many people interested in the blockchain technology and I think we are in front of one of the most important inventions of this century,but we don't realise about it. From 2020 on, we will appreciate it with the use of the biggest enterprises in it

The funny thing is, they have to accept bitcoin as well when they want to use the advantages of the blockchain. Only then its ensured that the blockchan is safe enough. And so far only the monetary bonuses coming from bitcoin mining can ensure an uncorrupted blockchain. Somehow it makes me laugh. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

The whole point of the blockchain is that its distributed. and public, not private, so they can't be friend ever, at best they can build something alike that could resemble a centralized blochchain with public transaction, for more transparency

In a short term view I think an interest of the Bank in the blockchain can help the growth of bit coin (as value, as people that use/know … etc…)

Bitcoin and the block chain go hand-in-hand. Or do they?
Yes, creating the world's first global currency is innovative, but the banking industry has many other priorities, like becoming more efficient internally. Enhancing the speed of transactions, improved security, and streamlining the auditing process are realistic uses of Bitcoin's block chain. Except the goal is to ape the technology without the need for bitcoin as a currency. The real goal is making a system designed to be decentralized into one of centralized control, without the incentive program it was designed to have, a neat banker trick if they can pull it off.
