SBI Remit Leverages Ripple DLT in New Japan Banking Deal with Tottori Bank Away from SWIFT

SBI Remit Confirms Ripple-Powered Rails as Banks Quietly Ditch SWIFT for Low-Value Transfers As noted by market analyst Diana, SBI Remit has officially confirmed it is leveraging Ripple’s distributed ledger technology in its new partnership with Tottori Bank in Japan, reinforcing the country’s shift toward modernized cross-border payments. The collaboration targets low-value remittances, traditionally expensive and inefficient under legacy banking systems, aiming to make them faster and more cost-effective. The official announcement frames the partnership as a practical upgrade for banks still tied to SWIFT, enabling them to route low-value transfers through faster, cheaper infrastructure powered by Ripple. Instead of trying to patch inefficiencies in legacy systems, institutions are increasingly diverting specific payment flows outside SWIFT altogether for greater speed and cost efficiency. This shift highlights a broader change in how global payments are being structured. As ISO 20022 raises compliance and data requirements, SWIFT-based transfers have become more costly and operationally heavy, especially for high-volume, low-value remittances. In response, banks are rethinking how these flows are handled. Rather than routing small payments through traditional correspondent networks, they are increasingly steering them to platforms like SBI Remit, where Ripple-powered infrastructure enables faster, cheaper, and more predictable settlement with far less operational friction. SBI Ripple Asia and DSRV Push XRP Ledger as Japan–South Korea Payment Rails Evolve SBI Ripple Asia and South Korean fintech firm DSRV recently began joint research to improve Japan–South Korea payment corridors, with a focus on using the XRP Ledger as a potential backbone for faster, more connected cross-border settlement. Meanwhile, SBI Ripple Asia has completed development of an XRP Ledger-based token issuance platform, aimed at streamlining how digital assets are created and moved across financial systems. Therefore, these moves reflect a clear institutional shift toward blockchain-based infrastructure that can complement or in some cases reduce reliance on traditional SWIFT rails. Overall, these developments point to Japan’s banking sector cautiously moving toward hybrid payment models that blend traditional rails with blockchain-based settlement layers. SWIFT still anchors global finance, but rising costs and compliance demands are forcing a rethink of its efficiency in small-value cross-border transfers. Rather than replacing existing systems, Ripple’s infrastructure, built around the XRP Ledger, is increasingly being used as a backend optimization layer to streamline specific payment flows. The emphasis is clearly on gradual integration that delivers tangible improvements in speed, cost efficiency, and settlement transparency across key Asian corridors.
