According to TechFlow, Ripple has reached a cooperation agreement with African mobile payment provider Onafriq to support new payment corridors covering 27 African countries as well as Australia, the United Kingdom and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Onafriq will use Ripple Payments' blockchain technology with three partner companies. Zazi Transfer will provide transfer services to Australia, PayAngel will provide transfer services to the United Kingdom, and Pyypl will provide transfer services to Gulf Cooperation Council member countries. Pyypl is already a partner of Ripple's on-demand liquidity (ODL) solution, and Onafriq has also reportedly integrated ODL. Onafriq was earlier known as MFS Africa, but changed its name in June 2022 because of its acquisition of Global Technology Partners, a US mobile payment software developer. Onafriq also works with Western Union to advance cross-border transactions. Ripple Payments was called RippleNet before the latest upgrade, which was announced on November 8 at the Ripple Swell customer event.
