How We Got Here
Today's global payments infrastructure has more in common with the outdated postal system than this generation’s internet. Recognizing this friction in payments, our founders established Ripple with the idea of using blockchain technology and digital assets to enable financial institutions to send money across borders, instantly, reliably and for fractions of a penny.
This unification of the underlying infrastructure that ties institutions and providers together not only helps our customers grow their business but also it helps enable the world to move money like information moves today—a concept we refer to as the Internet of Value.
What Makes Us Unique
Real customers, real products
Ripple is the only enterprise blockchain company today with products in commercial use. Ripple’s global payments network includes over 300 customers across 40+ countries and six continents.
Changing the financial system from within
We are working with regulators, governments, and central banks, not against them, to improve the way the world moves money.
The best digital asset built for payments
While all the financial institutions on our network enjoy faster, lower-cost global payments, those who use the digital asset XRP to source liquidity can do so in seconds. XRP is quicker, less costly and more scalable than any other digital asset.
