Cross River Bank is integrating Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin into its banking platform, allowing fintech companies to settle dollar-backed digital payments around the clock. Announced on October 15, the integration connects RLUSD to the bank’s Core Operating System through a single API.
The service supports transfers between U.S. dollars and RLUSD on the XRP Ledger, alongside existing payment options such as ACH transfers, wire transfers and real-time payments.
Cross River Adds Stablecoin Settlement Options
Cross River and Ripple are targeting cross-border payments, treasury transfers and intraday settlements. Transactions on the XRP Ledger typically settle within three to five seconds and cost less than one cent.
