Ripple and Finastra bolster each other’s payments capabilities
Finastra clients will be able to connect and transact with the 200 members of the RippleNet partnership programme. In turn those partners will be able to access what the vendor calls its “vast global footprint”.
Customers will be hosted on Ripple’s cloud solution and have the option to use On Demand Liquidity, which leverages the digital asset XRP for cross border payments.
“Finastra is an established fintech player and works with a majority of the world’s top banks,” says Marcus Treacher, senior vice president of customer success at Ripple.
