| Ripple | Legacy | Ripple Blockchain | Blockchain Platform | Blockchain | n/a | 2016 | 2017 |
In 2016 Akbank implemented Ripple Blockchain as a Blockchain Platform to handle international fund transfers and corporate cross-border payments. The deployment positioned Akbank as the first Turkish bank to adopt Ripple Blockchain, establishing a new payments rail intended to increase transparency and speed while reducing transfer costs.
The implementation focused on cross-border settlement and corporate payments workflows, with configuration to expose pre-disclosed fees and exchange rates, enable end-to-end payment tracking, and support continuous 7/24 clearing and settlement capabilities. Functional capabilities emphasized by the rollout include payment orchestration for corporate flows, visibility into correspondent bank charges, and a faster settlement path compared with traditional correspondent banking workflows.
Operational integration for the pilot was executed through Akbank AG, Akbank's affiliate in Germany, where the initial corporate payment transactions were staged and first live transactions were expected in May. The vendor relationship with Ripple supplied the underlying distributed ledger and network connectivity, while Akbank retained control of operational routing and customer-facing pricing and tracking features for the pilot.
Governance and rollout followed a pilot-first approach for corporate customers, paired with strategic collaborations with fintech partners to extend blockchain-enabled payment features. Outcomes explicitly identified by Akbank included faster transfers, improved transparency, lower correspondent fees, the capability to present costs and exchange rates in advance, and enhanced customer experience through real-time tracking and continuous service delivery.
