RedotPay Integrates Ripple Payments for Instant Crypto-to-Naira Payouts in Nigeria

The service uses blockchain settlement over Nigerian banking rails to deliver faster, cheaper remittances for verified users.

Overview

  • The live "Send Crypto, Receive NGN" feature lets users send XRP, USDC, USDT, BTC, ETH, SOL, TON, TRX, and BNB, with naira deposited directly into recipients’ local bank accounts.
  • Transfers typically settle in under five minutes, contrasting with traditional cross-border payments that can take one to five business days and average 6.49% in fees.
  • Recipients avoid exchanges and conversion risk as RedotPay handles crypto-to-fiat conversion on existing banking rails.
  • Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is expected to be added as a payout option in a future update.
  • The Nigeria launch follows similar RedotPay services in Brazil and Mexico and aligns with Ripple’s broader push through regional partners such as Chipper Cash, Yellow Card, and VALR.
