FOMO Pay taps Ripple's liquidity solution for treasury management

cointelegraph.com:

Singapore-based institutional digital payment solution provider FOMO Pay has become the latest fintech firm to integrate Ripple’s liquidity solution called on-demand liquidity (ODL).

FOMO Pay would use the popular crypto enterprise technology to improve its cross-border treasury settlements. Earlier, the firm used the traditional payment system for cross-border settlement of EUR and USD trades, which took up to two days. However, with ODL integration, the firm aims to achieve an instant settlement with very low transaction costs.

Louis Liu, Founder and CEO of FOMO Pay said:

Ripple’s ODL service has gained a lot of popularity in the private banking and payment sector. The enterprise solution uses XRP as a bridge between two currencies, eliminating pre-funding of destination accounts and reducing operational costs. The tech has proven a great success in Asia, where cross-border transactions are among the highest.

Ripple didn’t respond to requests for comments from Cointelegraph at the time of publishing.

Ripple aims to make headway in the treasury settlement market that sees over $3.5 billion in annual expenditure to manage liquidity crises. With ODL, liquidity is always available in the form of XRP.
