QNB, Ripple’s partner bank, announced the successful opening of a corridor between QNB Qatar and QNB Finansbank (Turkey) using Ripple’s global financial network technology, RippleNet, therefore extending Ripple’s Middle East activities.
The bank states that it intends to grow further in the future to significant remittance routes. QNB will offer a cross-border remittance service in October 2021 in collaboration with Ripple.
Ripple already has a major presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), which is home to two of the world’s top three remittance corridors.
Ripple announced the launch of RippleNet’s first-ever On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) deployment in the Middle East in late 2021, in collaboration with Pyypl, a multinational blockchain-based financial services technology business located in the Middle East and Africa.
Additionally, Ripple launched a first-in-market ODL corridor in Japan last year in collaboration with SBI Remit, and bought a 40% share in Tranglo in Malaysia to enhance the availability of its ODL service.
