“Most of our customers are migrants who are sending money back home,” explained Bhavin Vaghela, Xendpay’s Head of Product Innovation.
This money is vital to support their families: to pay rent or mortgage, electricity bills, medical fees, and education costs. Being an online service allows us to reduce our overheads and pass the savings on to these clients, for whom every penny counts.
Xendpay is well known in nations with established and developing migrant population, which includes the U.K., Canada, Europe, India, and South Africa. Other clients are students expecting to pay education costs and receive funds from taking care of their living expenses, and small online organizations that purchase and sell goods from different nations.
Trouble Associated with Transferring Payments
Even though the flexible charges draw in new clients, the trouble associated with transferring something besides U.S. dollars to a few new countries posed a considerable problem for Xendpay. Moreover, Managing in smaller currencies required direct association with local banks and the maintenance and set up of complicated API game plans for each one of the banks. Utilizing RippleNet to associate with a powerful network of partners has demonstrated to be a basic answer to this issue.
Xendpay’s Solution to the Problem
Although Xendpay had a locally established partner, the exchanges took several days to complete. With RippleNet, the lengthy cross-border payments are occurring continuously. Xendpay plans to keep opening new centers by empowering international workers, small businesses, and students to transfer cash inexpensively and effectively. The organization has recently launched services to Africa, which includes high-value payment markets like Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Ghana.
