Trimont Leads the Way with First CRE Blockchain Payment Processing
Commercial real estate lenders can now benefit from secure blockchain-based programmable payments for faster transactions powered by Kinexys by J.P. Morgan
ATLANTA (2 September 2025) – Trimont, the leading global commercial real estate loan services provider, today announces a groundbreaking move as the first commercial real estate (CRE) loan servicer to leverage Kinexys by J.P. Morgan’s blockchain-based programmable payments solution to automate payments on behalf of its clients. This milestone marks a significant step forward in the evolution of financial transactions within the CRE industry.
“To address our clients’ evolving needs, we are thrilled to leverage blockchain technology for payments,” stated Jeff Bolte, Chief Technology Officer at Trimont. “Not only does this option allow our clients to receive payments in real-time, but they can also securely move funds across borders seamlessly, transparently and efficiently. With this implementation, we are creating a more secure payment infrastructure by moving remittance to our clients in a systematic, permissioned framework.”
On 7 August, 2025 Trimont successfully processed its first blockchain-based payment for a client. Utilizing the programmable payments solution from Kinexys Digital Payments, a leading permissioned blockchain network, Trimont was able to automate the complex, multi-step payment process and utilize its own data in a bank environment to settle the payment. By integrating triggers, conditions, and actions into its payments processes Trimont can provide its clients with faster payment solutions.
“With this first-of-its-kind transaction in its industry, Trimont is pioneering the integration of blockchain technology into commercial loan servicing,” said Naveen Mallela, Global Co-Head of Kinexys by J.P. Morgan. “Our continued focus is on building next-generation financial infrastructure and it’s exciting to see Trimont bringing the benefits of programmable payments directly to its clients today. Payment processing that typically takes up to two days can be done in minutes with programmable payments, and we’re thrilled to see this tangible use case live in market.”
Key benefits for Trimont and its clients:
- Programmable payments: Automatically identify incoming loan repayments, verify that the amount received is adequate for loan servicing, and subsequently distribute funds across lenders in an automated fashion. This automation ensures reliability and efficiency in managing loan repayments.
- Faster loan repayments: With Kinexys Digital Payments integration, Trimont can process payments from borrowers 24/7/365, allowing the firm to move funds to its clients in near real-time. This enhances operational flexibility and accelerates transaction speed.
- Secure, seamless cross-border transactions: The platform facilitates secure and efficient cross-border payments, ensuring global reach and streamlined operations for international clients.
“At Trimont, we are committed to deploying advanced technology to support our continued growth and scale efficiently while delivering elevated service to our clients,” said Bill Sexton, Chief Executive Officer at Trimont. “Leveraging blockchain-based programmable payments not only accelerates transaction timelines, but also allows us to deliver a more secure and seamless servicing experience for our clients around the world. This milestone is just the beginning—Trimont will continue to invest in and deploy next-generation technologies to further enhance the quality, transparency, and responsiveness of the service we provide to our clients.”
