Volante Technologies offers U.S. banks and financial institutions a unified solution for the Federal Reserve’s FedNow Service and The Clearing House’s RTP real-time payments network. Separately, Volante’s cross-border payment materials list Ripple and digital currencies among the services its platform processes.
The available materials describe separate capabilities, while the Federal Reserve’s FedNow participants and service providers page does not mention XRP or Ripple.
Volante says its cloud-native cross-border payments platform processes SWIFT gpi, Ripple, Visa B2B, Mastercard Send, digital currencies, alternative payments, and other services from a single platform. The company also describes connectivity to SWIFT, blockchain networks, major card networks, and alternative payment rails.
This architecture presents multiple payment and messaging options through one provider. Volante’s cross-border materials identify Ripple alongside other rails, while its FedNow announcement describes a separate unified offering for FedNow and TCH RTP.

Volante’s FedNow Offering Ripple Payment
In an announcement, Volante said it was offering U.S. banks and financial institutions a single unified solution for the FedNow Service and TCH RTP real-time payments. The company said adopters could begin with TCH RTP and add the FedNow Service when the network was ready.
The announcement said Volante had joined the FedNow Pilot Program in early 2021 and was a prospective participant in the Federal Reserve’s FedNow Service Provider Showcase. It described capabilities for real-time and instant payments and said Volante’s FedNow offering would be extensible to wire, ACH, and SWIFT. However, the announcement does not refer to Ripple or XRP.
The Federal Reserve’s FedNow participants and service providers page describes the FedNow Service as instant-payments infrastructure through which participating banks and credit unions can send and receive transactions within seconds on behalf of customers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Keeping the Distinction Clear
Volante’s materials support two separate points: the company offers a FedNow and TCH RTP solution for U.S. financial institutions, and its cross-border platform processes Ripple among a broader set of payment services. The supplied materials do not describe a shared settlement mechanism between FedNow and Ripple.
A direct statement from FedNow connecting the service to XRP or Ripple would be needed to establish such a link. Based on the materials reviewed, Volante’s FedNow offering and its Ripple-related cross-border capability should be treated as separate parts of the vendor’s platform.
