Ripple teams up with Chipper Cash to boost cross-border payments in Africa 

This collaboration will leverage Ripple Payments, a crypto-enabled solution designed to facilitate faster, more affordable, and efficient international money transfers.

Chipper Cash, which serves over five million customers across nine African nations, will integrate Ripple’s blockchain technology to enable 24/7 global remittances.

This partnership aims to reduce transaction time and costs, significantly improving the efficiency of financial flows into Africa.

Managing Director for the Middle East and Africa at Ripple, Reece Merrick, emphasized the importance of the partnership in expanding Ripple’s footprint on the continent.

“Consumers and businesses in Africa are increasingly recognizing the benefits of blockchain technology. Through this collaboration, we aim to provide a seamless, cost-effective cross-border payments solution, driving economic growth and innovation in the region,” Merrick said.

Co-Founder and CEO of Chipper Cash, Ham Serunjogi, highlighted the transformative potential of crypto-enabled payments.

“We’re excited to harness the transformative potential of blockchain technology to enable greater financial inclusion, accelerate access to global markets, and empower businesses and individuals across Africa,” Serunjogi stated.

Ripple is a global leader in digital payments infrastructure, powering over $70 billion in cross-border payments.

As Africa’s remittance market grows, fintechs and blockchain firms are stepping in to solve inefficiencies in traditional banking.

Ripple’s partnership with Chipper Cash signals a shift toward crypto-powered remittances, which could reshape how money flows into Africa.
