Ripple should get banking license to transform the financial system – Keiran Kelly
The founder of XRP.co recently got a message from prominent bank HSBC where he was charged a huge fee for his cross-border transaction. This provoked him to suggest a proposal to the CEO of Ripple Brad Garlinghouse via Twitter.
The devoted Ripple and XRP enthusiast was livid that the bank was charging fees for both sending and receiving international payments. In the tweet to Garlinghouse, he explained ways Ripple can carryout swift and cheaper transactions and does not charge the receiver any fees.
Also in the message by HSBC to Kelly, it was stated that transactions take up to 5 days to finalize. Contrarily, Ripple processes transactions worth millions of dollars swiftly and cost-efficiently. According to Kelly, with a banking license, Ripple could reduce the cost of international transactions drastically for many people who want to carry out cross-border transactions.
Thus, Ripple should consider requesting for a banking license or further increasing the stake in MoneyGram. Kelly went thus:
“Being charged for receiving and sending international payments. @Ripple should consider getting a banking license &/or acquiring more ownership of @MoneyGram. @bgarlinghouse.”
