Ripple buys a $50m stake in MoneyGram for its global blockchain-based money transfer services

Ripple, a provider of leading enterprise blockchain solutions for global payments, has bought a $50m stake in MoneyGram in a move that will enable MoneyGram to utilize Ripple’s xRapid product, leveraging XRP in foreign exchange settlement as part of MoneyGram’s cross-border payment process.

The deal will see the two improve the settlement of cross-border payments by increasing efficiency and reducing cost through RippleNet.

Through this partnership, which will have an initial term of two years, Ripple will become MoneyGram’s key partner for cross-border settlement using digital assets.

“I’m extremely excited about Ripple’s investment in MoneyGram and the related strategic partnership,” said Alex Holmes, MoneyGram Chairman and CEO. “As the payments industry evolves, we are focused on continuing to improve our platform and utilizing the best technology as part of our overall settlement process,” said Mr. Holmes. “Through our partnership with Ripple, we will also have the opportunity to further enhance our operations and streamline our global liquidity management. Since our initial partnership announced in January 2018, we have gotten to know Ripple and are looking forward to further leveraging the strengths of both of our businesses.”  

Today, MoneyGram relies on traditional foreign exchange markets to meet its settlement obligations, which require advance purchases of most currencies. Through this strategic partnership, MoneyGram will be able to settle key currencies and match the timing of funding with its settlement requirements, reducing operating costs, working capital needs and improving earnings and free cash flow.

“This is a huge milestone in helping to transform cross-border payments. MoneyGram is one of the largest money transfer companies in the world and the partnership will continue to further the reach of Ripple’s network. I look forward to a long-term, very strategic partnership between our companies,” said Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple.

Ripple’s initial investment of $30 million in MoneyGram equity is made up of common stock and a warrant to purchase common stock. In addition, at MoneyGram’s election, Ripple is set to fund additional purchases of common stock or warrants up to $20 million at a minimum price of $4.10 per share making it $50 in total.
