American Express and Ripple are working together to make instant cross-border payments a reality using blockchain technology. SMEs and businesses worldwide can benefit from the innovation of blockchain-powered instant payments, helping to drive global commerce.

This is the use case for American Express’ use of Ripple’s blockchain solutions for payments.
