Blockchain and cryptocurrency payment platform enabling fast, seamless cross-border transactions, replacing traditional systems like SWIFT
Ripple is a real-time gross settlement system, currency exchange, and remittance network developed by Ripple Labs Inc. and released in 2012. Its platform is built around a distributed ledger database, blockchain technology and its cryptocurrency called XRP (ripples) that allows banks and payment providers to transfer money quickly, reliably and cost-effectively around the world.
Unlike most cryptocurrencies, XRP was created specifically for enterprise use by banks and financial institutions for on-demand liquidity for cross-border payments. By enabling extremely fast and cheap transactions, Ripple allows banks to free up capital typically tied up for days in payments using legacy technology - enabling reinvestments and greater returns.
Some key benefits of Ripple for international money transfers include:
Major global banks such as Santander, Standard Chartered and RBC use Ripple's payment network. Ripple aims to complement and enhance, rather than replace, existing core banking systems - partnering with them for improved global money movement.
