XRPL Sidechain Xahau Will Power Remittance Services Between Coopbank and InFTF
Oct 04, 2024 at 09:33 pm
According to the core Xahau developer, Xahau will power the remittance services between Coopbank and inFTF.
A recent partnership between the Cooperative Bank of Oromia (Coopbank) in Ethiopia and InFTF, an inclusive finance startup, has created new use cases for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) sidechain Xahau.
Wietse Wind, founder of XRPL Labs and core Xahau developer, highlighted the milestone in a recent statement, attesting that the team’s years of work have culminated in real solutions for real people.
The XRP Ledger Xahau and Coopbank Deal
Coopbank, as it is popularly called, plans to launch Ethiopia’s first blockchain-powered remittance service in collaboration with InFTF. This latest innovative solution aims to revolutionize cross-border money transfer.
The remittance service will offer faster, more secure, and more affordable transactions to Ethiopians and residents of other countries.
Ethiopians in the diaspora can easily, quickly, and securely transfer funds in about 3 seconds. With the technology, they do not need to worry about the high fees traditionally associated with remittances. In the long run, this service will ensure more money reaches families and businesses back home.
The Ethiopian bank and InFTF, launched this solution to target financial inclusion.
“The technology we’re advancing enables incredibly fast transaction settlements at a fraction of traditional costs, building a sustainable digital financial ecosystem accessible to everyone, especially in underserved regions,” Mr. Harath Chari, a Management Board Member of InFTF, stated.
For a while, Coopbank has sought strategies to bridge Ethiopia’s financial gaps. At the core of its search are innovative and customer-centric approaches. This latest debut of a blockchain-powered remittance solution is a significant milestone in Coopbank’s vision.
After expressing his excitement about the new development, WiesteWind mentioned that XRP Ledger Xahau will support Coopbank in building the Hooks and integrations needed to stay compliant. Several community members attested to the role of XRP in cross-border settlements and congratulated Wieste on the milestone achieved.
XRP-based Solutions Promotes Cross-border Remittance Globally
Blockchain payments firm Ripple Labs Inc. prides itself on its cross-border payment capacity. Key proponents believe fiat cannot compete with XRP’s speed and security. Compared to international wire transfers through platforms like SWIFT, which take anywhere between 1 and 14 days to clear and increase settlement risk, XRP takes only a few seconds.
These features have made it an attractive payment solution amongst several projects and organizations. A few years ago, blockchain-empowered remittance platform SendFriend utilized Ripple’s XRP-based xRapid to boost its remittance services for its users.
xRapid is an XRP-based solution that minimizes transactional costs for all international remittances. In SendFriend’s case, the XRP-based solution converted USD to XRP and Pesos. Over time, users could bypass conventional banking systems and banks’ hefty fees while completing transactions within seconds instead of days.
Around the same time, Saudi British Bank (SABB) launched its Instant Cross-Border Payment Service, which is powered by the Ripple blockchain solution.
