Azimo teams up with SCB
It’s been revealed that the European money transfer service Azimo teamed up with Thailand’s Siam Commerical Bank (SCB) in order to power a real-time remittance service using Ripple’s payments tech.
A press release coming from Ripple revealed that the partnership would be reducing the typical average time for payments from Europe to Thailand from one business day to less than 60 seconds.
The cross-border payments industry is transforming
Azimo co-founder and executive chairman Michael Kent said that the partnership is a part of a larger transformation that’s happening in the cross-border payments industry.
“More and more countries are going to instant payment. Thailand recently launched their instant payment network, and this partnership with the largest bank in the country allows us to get the time to settle payments down from around 24 hours to an average of 22 seconds. [It’s] faster to send money to Thailand than to someone else in Europe.”
