Also, the third largest cryptocurrency as per market capitalization just made an announcement of five new partnerships with fintech companies like FairFx, 4Free, UniPay, MoneyMatch and RationalFX because these five financial payment firms will use Ripple’s xVia API for recovering their global payment solutions.
What is Ripple’s xVia API solution?
As per Ripple’s website, the xVia package is set aside for those corporate payment providers who are expecting to use a standard interface through several networks. The xVia API allows continuous global transactions on a transparent platform rich in information.
Growing need for xVia by fintech companies
As per Ripple’s senior vice president, Asheesh Birla, as the number of consumers is rising; there is an increasing requirement for continuous digital global transactions. And these consumers are expecting to access to global digital payment solutions while dealing with the incompetence of the prevailing fragmented platforms.
Fintech companies that are looking to offer global payment markets, through Xvia are able to maintain the single standard connection over RippleNet and thus lower down the amount of failure. In addition, though RippleNet is able to lower down the costs incurred at the time of manual reconciliation of global transactions, its xVia and xRapid solutions are able to give smooth cross-border payments between banks and other fintech units.
