Addressing the Challenges of Cross-Border Payments
During a presentation, Soltani highlighted the massive amount of money that flows across borders each year, reaching trillions of dollars.
However, she pointed out that the current cross-border settlement system is plagued by inefficiencies, such as slow transaction speeds, high fees, and a significant risk of errors.
Ripple Payments With XRP: A Transformative Solution
Soltani emphasized Ripple’s commitment to addressing these pain points and transforming the cross-border payment landscape. The company’s flagship product, Ripple Payments, leverages blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, specifically XRP, to facilitate faster, more cost-effective, and transparent cross-border payments.
Soltani explained how Ripple Payments works by using a hypothetical scenario of a business sending money from the United Kingdom to the Philippines. The first step would involve requesting an FX quote to determine the exchange rate between Pounds and Pesos. After receiving and approving the quote, the business would initiate the payment instructions.
Ripple Payments would seamlessly convert the Pounds into the digital token XRP. Subsequently, the XRP would be exchanged for Pesos through Ripple’s network of partners in the Philippines. The recipient would then receive the exact amount agreed upon in the quote, all in their local currency, the Peso.
Soltani highlighted Ripple’s comprehensive global payout network, which provides access to essential payment networks and currencies, including those that were once hard to reach. This extensive reach allows Ripple to facilitate cross-border payments to virtually any corner of the world.
