Nilesh Dusane, director of business development at Ripple Labs, said that the company was "very excited" to join the network, adding:
"IPFA rules – when they are appropriately modified for Ripple – help us create a complete, real-time, cross border payment system."
The news comes after Ripple Labs joined the NACHA Payments Innovation Alliance and the Center for Financial Services Innovation Network (CFSI) in June 2014 and February 2015 respectively.
