Ripple Partners With Egypt’s CIB For Cross-Border Payments

Ripple has now expedited its global expansion spree by strengthening its presence in Egypt by collaborating with the CIB.

Ripple, a leading blockchain solutions provider, has recently initiated a collaboration with Egypt’s Commercial International Bank (CIB). It is a pivotal milestone for the company as it expanded its foothold in the Egyptian market. This comes after Ripple announced that it’ll enhance its U.S. presence, indicating significant efforts by the organization to expedite global expansion.

Ripple Partners With Egypt’s CIB
According to the latest Egypt Fintech 2024 report by Shehata & Partners Law Firm, CIB is poised to revolutionize cross-border payments via the partnership with Ripple. However, the bank aims to leverage the opportunity to improve efficiency in remittance services globally.

This marks a significant shift, as CIB becomes the first major Egyptian bank, beyond the National Bank of Egypt (NBE), to publicly announce its partnership with Ripple. Moreover, it is expected to be a great opportunity for the company to utilize XRP for cross-border payments. While NBE had previously teamed up with LuLu Exchange, CIB’s foray underscores a broader adoption trend within Egypt’s financial sector.

While details regarding the extent of CIB’s integration of Ripple’s technology remain undisclosed, industry observers anticipate a transformative impact on the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of cross-border transactions. As Egypt embraces blockchain innovation, CIB’s partnership with Ripple sets the stage for a new era of seamless international remittances, paving the way for increased XRP adoption.
