RippleNet has announced its partnership with Mobile Money, a Malaysian mobile wallet company. Through RippleNet, Ripple’s global payments network, Mobile Money has connected to bKash, Bangladesh’s largest provider of mobile financial services.

Their partnership is expected to power seamless wallet-to-wallet payments to serve the remittance corridor between Malaysia and Bangladesh.

bKash and MobileMoney will gain access to a wide range of RippleNet’s features, including wallet-to-wallet transactions. Mutual Trust Bank will work as the local banking partner in Bangladesh.

Through this partnership, Mobile Money is also anticipating growth in its user base of Bangladeshi workers by 20% as it enables them to better serve their user base.
