XRP-Based ODL Expands Its Use Case In Philippines’ Largest Fintech

Ripple’s ODL Solution which leverages XRP for cross-border treasury flows, would be now utilized for scaling up the internal treasury management in Philippines’ largest non-bank remittance firm, I-Remit.

This isn’t the first time for the domestic fintech as it has been an early adopter of ODL and was using the blockchain-enabled enterprise solution to clear cross-border payments in real-time and cost-effectively into the Philippines.

In order to provide rapid and inexpensive settlement without the need to hold pre-funded money in a destination market, On-Demand Liquidity, or ODL, leverages XRP, the digital currency created for payments as a bridge between two fiat currencies, as stated in the press release.

But in this case, it would be used to accelerate I-Remit’s internal payout capabilities, instead of relying on outdated infrastructure.

By leveraging ODL for treasury payments, I-Remit is now able to get 24/7, all-year-round access to liquidity for their funding requirements, thereby enabling same-day settlement globally. Having eliminated the need to pre-fund destination accounts over several days, I-Remit can now channel these funds to scale the business operations of its overseas subsidiaries and support its partners.

The latest expansion has put I-Remit in the league of companies such as FOMO Pay, Novatti, FlashFX, Tranglo, SBI Remit, Pyypl.
