Lets go! lets get it done! Go XRP Go!

INTESA SANPAOLO and EBA CLEARING have announced today the successful execution of the first user testing activities for the Pan-European real-time payment platform of EBA CLEARING.

Quote

Both retail and corporate customers will be able to send credit transfers in real time across Europe, potentially reaching over 500 million European citizens and companies in a seamless way – and they will need nothing aside from their current account to do so. The end-to-end process between the originator and beneficiary accounts will take no more than 10 seconds. The payments will be irrevocable and settled in real time subject to pre-funding in central bank funds.”

So they mention "ISO 20022 global messaging standards for real-time payments."  Do we know the extent that they are using ILP to comply with this?

(And better yet, the RCL & XRP?)

Ripple is an exhibitor, which is a sponsor with a table (usually) at these events.  SWIFT is a sponsor. 

Both SWIFT and Ripple have speakers that will participate in one or more sessions:

• Harry Newman, Head of Banking, SWIFT
• Marcus Treacher, Global Head of Strategic Accounts, Ripple

Crédit Agricole and Unicredit are confirmed Ripple customers! The above post and partial list (from 14-12-2016) of the  EBA Instant Payment participants is GOLD! Great post @MundoXRP , tnx!  Back in december 2016 it was unknown that Crédit Agricole and Unicredit were officially going to use Ripple. Now they both have officially confirmed that fact.

As the Sepa Instant Credit Transfer uses the Eba Clearing system for instant payments for their Pan European Network (from the 21st of november 2017 official launch date) we now know for 100% sure that Ripple is involved.

PLEASE RIPPLE @JoelKatz GIVE US AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT !!!

Today local newspaper published an article where states that Estonian banks will have very soon fast money transactions.

Source: http://arileht.delfi.ee/news/uudised/pankurid-lubavad-lahitulevikus-on-maksete-laekumine-vaid-sekundite-kusimus?id=82693549

It states that right now only SEB is providing these fast transactions. 
I went to SEB homepage to find out that how they are doing it. 
Turned out they are using EBA Clearing for it. 

Source: https://www.seb.ee/eng/instant-payment

After that, I went to see who are shareholders in EBA clearing and it turned out there are many big banks who are also partnering with Ripple. 

Source: https://www.ebaclearing.eu/about-eba-clearing/corporate-governance/the-shareholders/

Here are some of them:

* MUFG Bank, Ltd.
* Crédit Agricole
* Banco Santander S.A.
* Standard Chartered Bank Germany Branch

That made me thought that EBA clearing is definitely working with Ripple and these fast transactions are happing because they are using Xcurrent 

What are your thoughts on this?

Could there be a partnership between Ripple and EBA Clearing that's not announced yet? 

*******

There is also Panel discussion (is in Estonian)

They state that currently, 30% European banks are using a system to transfer money from bank to bank instantly. 
They are projecting that end of the year 80% of European banks are using this system.

EBA Clearing is connected to Ripplenet and SWIFT. They probably are providing the gateway for routing the Xcurrent messages.

@Hodor @MundoXRP @LilBender @Live4xrp @Chan_Maddanna Here an interesting update concerning SWIFT's RTGS network connectivity agenda in the second half of november 2018.

Written by FinTech Futures, 21 Oct 2018,    https://www.bankingtech.com/2018/10/key-ingredients-of-instant-payment-systems-success/

From the article:

SWIFT is also working with two major pan-European players – the Eurosystem on its TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) service and EBA Clearing on its RT1 instant payment system. The latter is already live and will start offering SWIFT connectivity from 20 November this year. It will be promptly followed by the TIPS go-live, which is scheduled for 26 November.

One of the issues for discussion is the Eurosystem’s planned consolidation of TARGET 2 (T2), TARGET2-Securities (T2S) and the aforementioned TIPS onto a single platform with a European Single Market Infrastructure Gateway (ESMIG) sitting at the front. The objective here is that the payments and securities markets participants will use ESMIG as a single gateway to connect to a consolidated market infrastructure.

The solution that we are now rolling out in Europe for TIPS and RT1 is the first stage for our participants to be connected to the new unified market infrastructure, and we are putting forward three examples of its added value:

1. It is the initial step towards ESMIG. [The SWIFT gateway (by TAS Group) is the connecting node]

2. It re-uses the SWIFT infrastructure that participants have already in place in terms of procedures, connectivity to the operating centres and support facilities as well as the security features that are used to sign the messages.

3. Our SWIFTNet Instant solution is what we call “multi-CSM” (clearing and settlement mechanism) – a single interface that market participants can use to connect to EBA Clearing’s solution [with Ripplenet] or the Eurosystem platform or indeed any other future payment solutions that will offer such connectivity. ["such connectivity".... that is imho the instant clearing and settlement via Ripplenet.... smells like XRapid]

This means that customers will not have to install a new payment gateway every time they want to connect to a new instant payment system, saving them time, resources and money. This is vital to a rapid deployment of faster payment systems. - [The last sentence is referring to strategic infrastructure decisions dating from 2016]

By Carlo Palmers, head of payment market infrastructures, SWIFT........thank you Carlo.

Edited on the 30 th of november 2018

RT1 (by EBA Clearing) is connected to Ripplenet and a lot of European banks are already connected to RT1 since the end of 2017.

Also LUXHUB as a Temenos partner is presently very active and connecting via the European PSD2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_Services_Directive, first 5 sentences) initiative. Quotes "The Directive's purpose was to increase pan-European competition and participation in the payments industry also from non-banks, and to provide for a level playing field by harmonizing consumer protection and the rights and obligations for payment providers and users" AND "ISO 20022 XML message format".

What we are presently seeing is the last phases of the plumbing being done. As a result I am expecting some traction in december 2018.

For intitutional inflow of capital both the last week of december 2018 (tripple witching day) and january 2019 (Bakkt onboarding) will be interesting to watch.

That is pretty awesome info and it falls in line with everything that has been dug up so far on this topic.

Ripple is really laying the rails for a new payment architecture for the world and existing systems will plug into it sooner or later.

We should also give SWIFT some credit.... "It re-uses the SWIFT infrastructure that participants have already in place in terms of procedures, connectivity to the operating centres and support facilities as well as the security features that are used to sign the messages."
