Ripple’s partner bank, QNB, says it has successfully launched a corridor on Ripple’s global financial network technology, RippleNet, between QNB Qatar and QNB Finansbank (Turkey), thus expanding Ripple’s operations in the Middle East.

The bank says it has plans to expand further to key remittance corridors in the future. In October 2021, QNB launched a cross-border remittance service developed in partnership with Ripple.
Supported by the establishment of a regional HQ in Dubai in 2020, Ripple already has a significant presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), which remains home to two of the top three remittance corridors in the world.
In the latter part of 2021, Ripple announced the launch of RippleNet’s first-ever On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) deployment in the Middle East, together with Pyypl, an international blockchain-based financial services technology company in the Middle East and Africa.
Also, in the past year, Ripple announced its first-in-market ODL corridor in Japan, in partnership with SBI Remit, and acquired a 40% stake in Tranglo in Malaysia to expand the availability of its ODL service.
