HBAR Foundation, the development team behind the Hedera blockchain, announced via a blog post on Friday that Frest Supply Co (FSCO) has integrated Hedera into its Continuity payment trigger API.
Via the Continuity API, Hedera can now connect to ACH (bank-to-bank payments), and the Mastercard network. Hedera will soon also be able to connect to Mastercard Payment Gateway Services (MPGS) that focuses on serving online use cases like e-commerce, as well as other forthcoming Mastercard web3 and digital asset products.
Hedera Hashgraph is distributed public ledger infrastructure. According to the team, it offers significant improvements over existing blockchains in five areas: performance, security, governance, stability, and regulatory compliance. HBAR is trading at $0.0556 at press time, up by 3% over the last 24 hours.
