Santander Group to Explore xCurrent in New Payment Corridor
According to the report, Santandar Group announces its plan of launching “new payment corridor” to enable Latin American customers to send money to the United States with no fees. For an upcoming payment corridor, Santandar is working with One Pay FX which uses Ripple’s powered xCurrent.
Nevertheless, the bank will employ xCurrent to serve its customers of Latin America for payment transfer service to the US.
To remind, Santandar was in hot bulletins in last week with the report of “blocking” payment service to Coinbase crypto exchange. However, the bank later denied the reports claiming that and states, “it was not the case,” but services are subject to checks.
As for One Pay FX, its CEO recognizes surge in interest and need of remittance service. The CEO, Cedric Menager told the media;
“Customers who were not doing international transfers are now using the service, customers who were using international transfer are now doing it more, and customers who had gone to use fintech competition have come back because of the One Pay offering,”
Moreover, a Twitter user referred to the data from Coinbase exchange and found that over 80% of the XRP users are inconsistently buying XRP. Another report published by Tron Weekly Journal (Tron Weekly) also explains the company’s effort of boosting the XRP adoption via blockchain projects — by assisting them with infrastructure and funding requirement. As such, content platform Coil was among the latest names that received 1 billion grant in XRP from Ripple’s investment arm, xPring.
