According to ABN Amro, the proposed system would support connectivity with regulators such as the country's central bank and the Land Registry Office. In its announcement, ABN Amro suggested that the pilot could ultimately lead to new kinds of client-facing services.

The bank said in a statement:

“This latest pilot is part of the bank’s strategy to offer innovative solutions for commercial real estate financing.”

The project is the latest for the Amsterdam-based bank. In October, ABN Amro announced that it was working with Delft University of Technology to develop a range of prototypes. At the time, the two sides said that the pilots they develop would ultimately be open-sourced.
