Today’s announcement that Ripple’s (XRP) partner, Banco Santander, has gone live on SWIFT’s global payments innovation (gpi) service in Poland, Argentina, United Kingdom and Spain, has increased the expectations of Ripple’s (XRP) lovers that the firm and SWIFT may initiate a partnership.
Today’s Gazette earlier reported the lingering rumour that SWIFT and Ripple are cooking something awesome which they may announce during the SIBOS 2018 conference that is slated to hold between 22 Oct 2018 and 25 Oct 2018 in Sydney, Australia.
With the news that Santander is now live on SWIFT’s gpi, Ripple community sees a green light and a possible link between Ripple and SWIFT. This is because Santander and Ripple are great allies. Santander invented One Pay FX App survives on Ripple’s blockchain technology.
When the payment app was unveiled, Santander inferred that relating with Ripple builds on the bank’s “philosophy of collaborating with the most innovative companies” which will make them consistently provide better services to customers.
On joining SWIFT gpi, Santander believes it will now offer a rapid and frictionless cross-border payments service coupled with immediate payments tracking and transparency.
Will Ripple Join SWIFT?
With the partnership of Banco Santander and SWIFT, the question that remains in the mind of Ripple enthusiasts is that will the blockchain company join SWIFT, or will the two design a new technology for seamless cross-border payment?
