Zelle plans to expand bank-owned payments network to outside US

Zelle, the bank-owned service that facilitates consumer money movement, said it plans to expand its services internationally. Zelle will rely on stablecoins to enable cross-border money movement, according to a statement Friday from Early Warning Services LLC, Zelle's parent company. All Zelle network banks will have the option to provide the service, according to the statement. Financial-technology firms such as Wise Plc have long operated in the cross-border money-movement space, but the banks' scale gives them an advantage in the crowded market.

Ripple effects: The XRP company is pushing into mainstream finance but can it find a use for all its cryptocurrency? | Fortune Crypto

Ripple is a goofy business. For more than a decade now, the company has held vast quantities of magic beans known as XRP, which it dumps onto the market at regular intervals. It's not clear why anyone needs these magic beans, but people buy them anyway, and that has made Ripple very rich-so rich that this week it casually spent $1 billion to buy a treasury management company called GTreasury.

Founded in 2024 by Anthony Jacob (pictured), a former Taptap Send executive, Nila was born from Jacob's personal struggle to coordinate vaccines and care for his elderly parents in Sri Lanka during the pandemic.

Cross-Border Payments Simplified: The EMI Advantage With Trumia

Traditional banks rely on legacy systems that were never designed for the speed and scale of global business today. This is why Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs) are currently changing the market. An EMI is a licensed financial entity that can issue electronic money, provide IBAN accounts, process payments, and hold client funds in safeguarded accounts. Unlike banks, EMIs cannot offer traditional loans or credit, but they can do almost everything else when it comes to facilitating digital payments.
