Ripple Payments allows companies to collect, hold, exchange, and send value using multiple asset types. The system supports fiat currencies, stablecoins, and other digital assets. Businesses can collect payments globally and convert funds automatically into their preferred currency.

According to Ripple, the platform also allows companies to settle funds into unified accounts. Users can hold balances in virtual accounts and digital wallets linked to the platform. Both fiat and stablecoin balances appear in a consolidated dashboard.

In addition, companies can exchange assets instantly through liquidity pools and Ripple’s over-the-counter desk. Transactions operate continuously throughout the year.
