Amazon Web Services (AWS) has officially recognized Ripple, the company behind the RippleNet global payment network, as a strategic partner. This partnership will significantly enhance RippleNet’s ability to process and secure cross-border payments. By leveraging AWS cloud infrastructure, RippleNet gains scalability and reliability, particularly when handling large transaction volumes across multiple currencies. This collaboration is already transforming international transactions for banks, corporations, and payment providers by reducing settlement times from days down to mere seconds. 2025 World Bank data indicates that cross-border payments are worth over $150 trillion annually, yet inefficiencies cost billions in fees and time lost. RippleNet’s integration with AWS allows them to address this problem with transparency, security, and lower transaction costs while meeting growing demand for efficient global transactions.
