Commenting on this development, Vince Cook, NBF’s CEO, said:
“In a fast-moving environment, banks have to act with agility and constantly look for new and improved ways to service their clients. Digitisation remains a key catalyst for change and as a customer-first bank, we understand the importance of leveraging blockchain technology to deliver seamless and frictionless experiences to our clients. RippleNet will enable us to stimulate an enhanced payment experience that will allow our corporate clients to manage their finances in a more efficient way. We will always look for the next best thing for our customers as part of our commitment of being the best financial partner for their business and personal needs.”
The bank will be capitalising on the benefits of RippleNet to service its large Indian customer base by conducting remittances to India through Indus Ind Bank. RippleNet enables the bank to actively leverage the Ripple cross border network and significantly enhance the user experience in the fund transfer. The traceability and the speed of the execution of the transfers allow the customers to achieve substantial improvement in the transparency and effectiveness of the payments.
