Ripple Payments and Zebec Integrate to Support RLUSD Stablecoin Settlements

The integration will let corporate clients fund payments in fiat currency while Zebec distributes payroll using RLUSD (Ripple’s U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin) across crypto wallets, payment cards, and later bank accounts.

RLUSD

Summary

Ripple Payments and Zebec are integrating to enable end-to-end stablecoin settlements using RLUSD (Ripple’s U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin). According to the announcement, corporate users will be able to fund payments in fiat currency, while Zebec manages payroll distribution across wallets, cards, and eventually bank accounts. The arrangement links traditional funding rails with blockchain-based settlement, a structure often used to reduce friction in cross-border or programmable payment flows while keeping the end-user funding experience in conventional currency.

Terms & Concepts
  • Stablecoin: A cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value, typically by being pegged to a fiat currency such as the U.S. dollar.
  • RLUSD: Ripple’s U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin, intended for blockchain-based payments and settlement.
  • Settlement: The final transfer of funds between parties; in blockchain payments, this can occur onchain (recorded on a blockchain network).
