TrustLinq Expands Global Reach with Ripple Payments Integration

TrustLinq, a Swiss-regulated payment service, has made significant strides in expanding its global infrastructure for direct crypto-to-fiat bank transfers. The company has successfully integrated Ripple Payments into its existing payment rail stack, allowing it to process live transactions through the cross-border payments infrastructure operated by Ripple.

The integration of Ripple Payments enables real-time multi-rail settlement across fiat and digital assets for TrustLinq's existing customers. This move extends the platform's reach beyond traditional correspondent banking and SWIFT routing, reducing its reliance on these systems. With this development, TrustLinq can now offer faster and more cost-efficient local payouts in over 80 currencies across more than 170 countries.

TrustLinq's core function allows users to fund a payment from their own self-custodial stablecoin wallet, which is then settled directly as a local bank transfer in fiat to the recipient's bank account. This process eliminates the need for exchanges or bank accounts on the sender's side and requires no crypto account or TrustLinq registration on the receiver's end.
