MoneyGram Aims At Bringing Upon Faster International Payments Using XRP

The international remittance is going great guns lately. Cross-border payments amounting to $600 billion have been processed by the remitters in 2016 helping people send money to their friends and family across the border and also for engaging in international transactions. The current model of money transfer requires companies to source their liquidity using pre-funded accounts set up internationally. This imparts greater cost and time requirement for the remittance drill to take shape. MoneyGram, one of the top money transfer magnets is trying to ease out this whole process and relieve the participating entities from unwanted headaches. It shall integrate XRP into its payment flows thus solving the age-old liquidity issue which most of the financial institutions have been facing lately. This will boost up the certainty and transparency in the transmission of funds done by the customers on real time basis.

  • xRapid and XRP Join Hands For Sourcing On-Demand Liquidity

XRP, the indigenous digital asset belonging to XRP Ledger shall be used and accessed by MoneyGram for regulating their flow of payments through xRapid which is the on-demand liquidity product of Ripple. Real-time foreign exchange (FX) settlement is enabled by xRapid through XRP aiding financial institutions in accessing multiple corridors and unlocking liquidity using just one pre-funded originating account. These financial institutions shall also be able to reduce FX costs and fees, send on-demand payments while the customers benefit from the receipt of real-time insight into their payment status. Alex Holmes, the chief executive officer of MoneyGram recently announced in a press release that, “Ripple is at the forefront of blockchain technology and we look forward to piloting xRapid. We’re hopeful it will increase efficiency and improve services to MoneyGram’s customers.”
