RippleNet just welcomed another essential member on board.
CIMB Group is the fifth largest bank in the Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN), and they will be using RippleNet.
The bank will use Ripple’s network of banks and financial institutions in order to power prompt cross-border payments, using Ripple’s solution.
Ripple’s tech will help CIMB enhance its services to customers
Ripple says that CIMB will leverage the blockchain technology in a location of the world in which payments are slow and inefficient.
“Ripple’s blockchain-based solution has been deployed to enhance CIMB’s proprietary remittance product called SpeedSend. This service allows customers to send and receive money with direct account crediting and instant cash collection,” says Ripple.
The improvement will enhance the bank’s access “to cross-border remittances across the globe — both inbound into ASEAN and outbound to other countries. It is already enabling remittances to corridors such as Australia, USA, UK, and Hong Kong,” according to Ripple.
The CEO of CIMB Tengku Dato’ Sri Zafrul Aziz stated that Ripple’s tech would morph the way in which cross-border transactions are made.
He believes that Ripple’s blockchain solution will revolutionize cross-border remittance and will complete CIMB’s efforts to improve the digital banking services with higher speed and cost efficiency across ASEAN.
The World Bank data reports that in 2018, remittance to Southeast Asia will reach $120 billion.
CIMB has 850 branches in 15 countries and over 13.5 million customers.
