SOOHO.IO and Partior MOU to Route Korean Deposit Tokens Over Live Settlement Network


Key points

  • SOOHO.IO and Partior signed a strategic MOU on 26 August 2026 to connect the Ezys platform to Partior's live global settlement network.
  • Ezys automatically aggregates liquidity from multiple global financial institutions, comparing exchange rates and transaction terms to select optimal routing before settling via Partior.
  • Partior's network currently settles USD, SGD, and EUR cross-border volumes 24/7 for globally systemically important banks, reducing reliance on multi-hop correspondent banking chains.
  • SOOHO.IO previously participated in Project Hangang, the Bank of Korea's CBDC trial involving Partior, providing a technical foundation for the new commercial partnership.
  • The MOU is a signed intent rather than a live integration; Korean institutions gaining access to Partior's settlement rails depends on the build-out work the two firms plan to complete.

SOOHO.IO and Partior have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to connect SOOHO.IO’s Ezys platform to Partior’s live multi-currency settlement network, giving Korean financial institutions a direct path into cross-border tokenised deposit infrastructure that is already processing commercial volumes.

Ezys, an open liquidity aggregation network built by SOOHO.IO, is designed to automatically compare exchange rates and transaction terms across global financial institutions and route payments to the most favourable counterparty, with settlement executed on Partior or other global rails. Partior’s network currently settles USD, SGD, and EUR transactions around the clock for globally systemically important banks, sidestepping the layered correspondent banking chains that introduce delay and cost opacity. The MOU brings that production-grade capability to Korean commercial banks whose existing infrastructure would otherwise require significant bilateral build-out to reach equivalent functionality.

SOOHO.IO arrives with relevant precedent: the company participated in Project Hangang, the Bank of Korea’s central bank digital currency (CBDC) trial that involved Partior. That relationship suggests the technical integration work is not starting from scratch, though the MOU stage means live commercial settlement for Korean institutions remains a forward objective rather than an operating reality. The partnership’s signal for the broader Korean market is that deposit-token infrastructure built for domestic pilots can, with the right partner, extend onto international rails without replacing what banks already have.
