Ripple has partnered with the National Bank of Egypt to power cross-border transfers between the North African nation and the UAE.
The partnership will greatly benefit both parties as Egypt is one of the top five nations in terms of remittance received.
Ripple has partnered with the largest bank in Egypt to power cross-border remittances. The National Bank of Egypt will connect with a UAE-based financial services provider, allowing the millions of Egyptians working in the Middle Eastern country to send money back home seamlessly on RIppleNet.
Ripple announced the partnership today via a blog post. The San Francisco company will facilitate the remittances through RippleNet between the Egyptian bank and LuLu International Exchange, a UAE financial services company that deals primarily in foreign exchange and global money transfer.
