Ripple Partners with Zand Bank and Mamo to Boost Cross-Border Payments in the UAE

In the dimly lit corridors of financial ambition, Ripple—like a maniacal poet—has declared a partnership with two Dubai-based institutions, Zand Bank and Mamo. They shall wield the demon of blockchain, turning it into their weapon to dominate cross-border payments. Oh, the irony—technology as salvation, or simply another dance in the great rat race.

Such a move signals not just expansion but a desperate, almost trembling grasp at regional dominance—where blockchain fervor is growing, fueled by dreams of economic salvation or damnation. Perhaps both, who can say?

According to the official propaganda (err, press release), the AI-powered Zand Bank and Mamo shall deploy Ripple Payments—a blockchain solution promising to make transactions as quick as a thief in the night. They boast of 24/7 cross-border transfers, because who really sleeps anymore? Streamlining settlements to ‘enhance efficiency’—a phrase as hollow as the promise of happiness.

Ripple Payments, like an overzealous giant, claims a near-global reach—over 90 payout markets. Handling over $70 billion in transactions yearly, a staggering illustration of scale—or perhaps the grand illusion of security, reliability, and unending growth.

“As a pioneering financial institution with a full-fledged banking license,”—oh, how that phrase echoes with pride—“Zand Bank is paving the way for a digital economy. Our collaboration with Ripple highlights our commitment to empowering global payment solutions through blockchain technology,” Chirag Sampat, or whatever his name is, spouts with all the conviction of a man selling forgiveness in a time of despair.

Zand Bank, the UAE’s first solo-digital bank—truly a beacon of progress—has announced plans for a stablecoin anchored to the UAE dirham (AED). A clever plan to bolster local digital payments, offering stability in a world spiraling into chaos—and, perhaps, into digital dollar dreams.

Mamo, the fintech equivalent of a quick fix, aims to simplify payments for businesses and consumers alike, gambling on Ripple’s tech to expand their empire. Ah, the insatiable hunger for more.

“The UAE is on an incredible growth path,” says Mamo’s CEO—a phrase so overused it’s practically a meme—“with over a million businesses expected by 2030. We’re proud to be at the forefront, making global payments simpler and more accessible,”—because simplicity is always the answer, even in a world gone mad.

And so, Ripple’s grand plans are bolstered by its shiny license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). By March 2025, they shall trade in crypto within the Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC), a paradise for the ambitious, or the hopeless.

With licenses in the U.S., Brazil, Mexico, Australia, and Switzerland—like a veteran of the global game—Ripple stakes its claim. However, even giants stumble. Last week, Judge Analisa Torres—who must be weary of this long saga—denied their plea, citing procedural concerns. Justice, after all, is a beast that eats its own tail.

This legal turbulence has shaken XRP’s value—down 4.4% last week, teetering at $2.3—a reminder that even the mighty are not immune to the caprice of fate and fortune.

Ripple's Climb and Fall

And so, the tale of Ripple continues—power, ambition, and the ever-present question: will this dream last, or will it crumble into the digital dust of forgotten hopes? Perhaps only time will tell, or perhaps not, for we are but players on this tragic stage.
