Expanding Payout Capabilities Through Implementation of Ripple's Blockchain Technology by Thunes

Thunes, a leading digital payments infrastructure provider, has announced an expansion of its partnership with Ripple, a global leader in blockchain-based financial solutions. This collaboration aims to enhance cross-border money transfer speed, accessibility, and compliance across regions.

The partnership, which began in 2020, supports the growing demand for innovative, blockchain-powered financial solutions globally. Thunes has been integrating blockchain and digital asset technologies into its Direct Global Network, enabling real-time payouts in local currencies, even in regions with limited banking infrastructure.

Through this partnership, Thunes is now working with Ripple's blockchain-powered payments solutions to boost access and efficiency for financial institutions and businesses worldwide. This collaboration will allow digital asset companies to deliver seamless, compliant, and accessible cross-border payments at scale.

Ripple Payments, the company's flagship product, has processed more than US$70 billion in transactions, currently covering more than 90 payout markets, representing over 90 percent of daily foreign exchange markets. With this collaboration, Ripple's enterprise customers will be able to withdraw funds in more currencies and countries.

Fiona Murray, Managing Director, Asia Pacific at Ripple, states, "The combination of Thunes' Direct Global Network and Ripple's digital asset infrastructure enhances payment speed, accessibility, and compliance across regions." Chloe Mayenobe, President and COO at Thunes, adds, "We are in a prime position to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the digital assets ecosystem."

The alliance between Thunes and Ripple is aimed at driving the future of digital assets. The expanded partnership, announced on September 2, 2025, will further optimize global money transfers, enhance the payout experience, and expand withdrawal reach in key markets. This partnership facilitates seamless, low-cost transactions, improving accessibility for businesses and individuals worldwide.

The partnership between Thunes and Ripple is a significant step towards a more connected and efficient global financial system. As the demand for digital assets and blockchain-powered solutions continues to grow, this collaboration is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the future of cross-border payments.
