According to a Nov.7 <a href="https://ripple.com/ripple-press/ripple-partners-with-onafriq-to-power-digital-asset-enabled-cross-border-payments-between-africa-and-the-rest-of-the-world/?utm_source=x&amp;utm_medium=organic_social&amp;utm_campaign=press_release">statement</a>, the San Francisco-based firm is partnering with payments fintech company Onfariq to open routes connecting Africa, the UK, Australia, and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, including Qatar and the UAE. 
<blockquote>
 “Onafriq is eliminating the traditional problems associated with cross-border payments such as lengthy transfer times, unreliability and excessive cost.”

The crypto company explained that PayAngel customers in the U.K., Pyppl users in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations (including in the UAE and Qatar), and Australian users of Zazi Transfer will be able to make speedy and cost-effective remittance and business payments to recipients in 27 countries across Onafriq’s pan-African network 
Dare Okoudjou, the founder and CEO of Onafriq, said: 
<blockquote>
 “These connections are set to enable fast, secure and low-cost remittances at scale between Africa and the rest of the world, and represent a bold first step for our crypto strategy to leverage blockchain technologies to amplify our impact on people and businesses on the continent.”
