RippleNet is a platform that gives users access to hundreds of financial institutions around the world through an API and makes money transfer faster, cheaper, and more reliable. It uses its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) service to provide liquidity during cross-border transactions.
The announcement details how GME Remittance has partnered with the biggest bank in Thailand, Siam Commercial Bank (SCB), with this service. Subash Chandra Poudel, the company’s director and COO, was quoted as saying, “We chose Ripple as our partner because RippleNet allows us to launch into new countries with new partners in as little as 1-2 weeks. This has significantly reduced our time to market and gives us an advantage over our competitors.”
