Financial institutions Standard Chartered and Axis Bank have announced a new cross-border payments platform built on top of technology developed by Ripple.
Unveiled today, the platform – which will connect corporates between Singapore and India – will be accessible through Standard Chartered's Straight2Bank system.

Gautam Jain, who serves as managing director and global head of client access for Standard Chartered, said in a statement:
"The successful launch of our commercial cross-border payment service marks a significant milestone in the financial industry’s progress in applying distributed ledger technology for corporates."
Not included in the cross-border platform is Ripple's XRP digital asset. A spokesperson for the startup confirmed that SC and Axis are not using XRP to facilitate transactions between Singapore and India.
