The company focuses on providing real-time payment settlements and currency exchange services to financial institutions such as banks and payment processors. Over 100 companies worldwide have adopted Ripple software to guarantee fast, frictionless transactions.

RipplePay provided online secure payment options for communities but didn’t gain such fame as now. In 2011, Fugger was soon approached by Jared McCaleb and Chris Larsen to replace RipplePay with a digital currency system where community consensus verified transactions, rather than miners like on the Bitcoin network.Work came into action on the Ripple Transaction Protocol in 2012. The protocol was outline to facilitate fast,direct money transaction between two parties in fiat currencies, without the wait times or transaction fees of traditional money transfer services. To provide greater liquidity, the protocol also provided for the creation of a new value token known as XRP. By 2014, what began as a person-to-person money transfer option began to gain traction with banks as another option for settling remittances in a quicker, more cost effective way than traditional technologies. In 2014, various banks and payment gateway signed on to utilize Ripple in a testing capacity. Ripple has added more institutions every year since, with over 100 clients in 2017.
