Features of RippleNet
xRapid
xRapid enables financial institutions to lower liquidity costs. High liquidity costs result from payments in developing markets that need pre-funded local currency accounts globally. Using xRapid, banks and other payment providers can reduce liquidity costs incurred. xRapid uses a digital product known as XRP to provide on-demand liquidity, thus reducing costs and enabling fast payment in emerging markets. XRP, therefore, offers a solution to liquidity problems in the emerging markets.
xVia
xVia enables financial institutions to send payments across different networks using a familiar interface. xVia uses a simple API that needs no software installation and allows users to send payments across the border transparently, accompanied by vital information such as invoices.
x-Current
xCurrent is a software that enables financial institutions to distinguish themselves by offering global payment services with a lower total cost of the settlement. It lowers the prices to fit within the risk, compliance, and security framework of a particular bank. xCurrent software is merged with the bank’s infrastructure. It is interconnected with the bank’s program by using either an API interface or a translation layer.
