NBAD, through the <a href=\"https:\/\/ripple.com\/\">Ripple<\/a> platform, will offer fast, cheap, secure and efficient international remittances and payments across regional markets. Ripple\u2019s solution would further enhance the innovative remittance infrastructure of NBAD. Ripple provides end-to-end visibility of the transaction to customers, in addition to instant, cost-effective transfers.<\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>Ramana Kumar, Managing Director &amp; Head of GTB Business and Product Managemen<\/strong>t<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAt NBAD we strive to ensure our offerings are efficient and transparent. Block chain technology transforms and paves a new way in achieving our goals and better serve our customers, adding value through accessibility and transparency. As an initial adopter and first bank to go live on Ripple, NBAD offers innovative solutions to our clients\u2019 payments needs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to a 2016 World Bank Migration and Remittances Factbook statistics, the annual remittances from the UAE is well over $19 billion, making it the fourth top remittance-sending country in the world. NBAD\u2019s shift to cost-effective and efficient Ripple platform will certainly encourage other major banks in that region to opt for Ripple payment network.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse<\/strong> added,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBanks and their customers have been hearing about the promise of blockchain technology to enable real-time cross-border payments. Now, some of the most innovative and successful banks like NBAD are making this a reality by offering Ripple-enabled payments to their entire customer base, and in doing so, paving the way to make 2017 the year we see broad commercialization of blockchain take hold globally.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ripple avoids the need to use a third-party bank for international transfer. Therefore, the system offers better data security to customers of a bank.
