Global crypto and fiat payouts: international payout infrastructure across 60+ markets
With 75+ licenses across key jurisdictions, Ripple operates directly in the flow of funds as a money transmitter and MSB, not an orchestration layer running on top of other providers. That's how one API covers international money transfer services, stablecoin-to-wallet, and fiat-to-bank delivery across 60+ markets without stitching together a separate vendor per corridor.
Availability of products can vary and may be provided by different Ripple entities.
Cross-border payout challenges
Fintechs and payroll platforms running global payouts face a capital efficiency problem: prefunding nostro accounts in every corridor locks up working capital that can't be deployed elsewhere.
Capital Locked in Nostro Accounts
Ripple's payments solution eliminates prefunding, with capital sourced only when payouts execute.
Fragmented Vendor Relationships
Ripple's single API covers stablecoin and fiat payouts across 60+ markets, with no separate exchange, broker, or market maker relationships to manage per corridor.
Limited Stablecoin Delivery Options
Ripple supports both stablecoin-to-wallet and fiat-to-bank delivery through one integration.
No Support for Third-Party Payouts
Ripple supports both first-party treasury payouts and third-party payouts to end beneficiaries on behalf of your customers, all through the same API. Most platforms only handle one.
Slow Settlement on Traditional Rails
Ripple routes every payment across the fastest fiat or stablecoin rail for same-day settlement, replacing the multi-day SWIFT cycles that trap working capital and limit how fast you can scale.
