He further commented on the new mobile app they have launched that helps in making payments through options like mobile and internet banking.

He is optimistic about the success of this mobile app and said that the only remark the customer will give about it will be that it is fast.

Elaborating on the similar topic he said that they used the technology to connect their subdivisions that are spread all across the globe. He then continued to demonstrate the speed of transferring payments internationally and how it was all possible because of RippleNet.

The sole purpose of this whole arrangement was to make international payments faster. The chief operating officer also discussed the partnership stating that the bank partnered up with Ripple because they share the same vision of reimagining an easier to use the banking system.
