Besides the broad sector of solutions that Finastra already provides, the company is now trying to promote the future of finance through this tie-up.
Senior Vice President of FMS at Finastra Riteesh Singh mentioned that cooperating with Ripple will be beneficial for their customers “in geographies where cost of correspondent banking is high”.
The users of Finastra will also be able to use On-Demand Liquidity of Ripple, enabling it to leverage XRP for cross-border payments.
Finastra has over 9000 clients which include 90 of the world’s 100 largest banks. However, only a little part of the clients are with the company to process payments.
