About Ripple xRapid
Ripple xRapid is a cross border payments product that minimizes liquidity costs. It has already been used by various companies such as MercuryFX, Cuallix, and Catalyst Corporate Federal Credit Union.
xRapid removes the demand for a pre-capitalized Nostro account when performing a cross-border payment. It creates liquidity from XRP on exchanges all over the world.

Traditional methods take days to complete cross-border payment transactions and take high foreign exchange fees.
