In a groundbreaking move, SBI Remit, a subsidiary of SBI VC Trade and the crypto-focused arm of SBI Japan, has announced a strategic partnership with Ripple and SBI Ripple Asia. This collaboration aims to launch international remittance services that utilize XRP.
Yoshitaka Kitao, the chairman and CEO of SBI Holdings, recently announced a groundbreaking development through a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). The news revolves around SBI Remit’s upcoming remittance service, which will utilize XRP technology.
This innovative service is scheduled to launch this month and will primarily cater to bank accounts in the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
In the meantime, these countries are attracting a considerable portion of remittances into their bank accounts, positioning them as excellent candidates for the adoption of XRP. SBI Remit firmly believes that introducing a remittance service based on XRP will expedite the acceptance and use of cryptocurrencies in these regions.
Eventually, SBI Remit has developed a streamlined process for international remittances, simplifying cross-border transactions. When a customer initiates a remittance request, SBI VC Trade promptly responds by sending the equivalent amount in XRP. Afterward, the XRP is seamlessly converted into the recipient’s local currency.
This dynamic approach has become possible through a strategic partnership with Tranglo, a Ripple partner. As a result, users now have the convenience and accessibility of receiving funds in their local currencies.
Moreover, SBI Remit aims to expand its range of services by including corporate and inbound transactions. This expansion will be facilitated through strategic partnerships with Ripple and other payment firms.
SBI’s partnership with Ripple marks a significant milestone in revolutionizing international remittance services. This collaboration aims to enhance the efficiency and convenience of cross-border transactions, delivering remarkable improvements to the process.
