According to The National, RippleNet member fintech giant Pyypl headquartered in the UAE has recently raked in $11 million from international investors in a Series A funding round. It was mainly international family officers and high-net-worth individuals that participated in the investment round.
Pyypl operates on the blockchain and offers digital payment services for users of smartphones, enabling them to wire money online without using their bank account or a bank card.
The funds raised by the company will allow it to expand in the GCC markets (those include Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, etc) and in Mozambique and Kenya.
Ripple began collaborating with Pyypl in late October last year to bring ODL services to the Middle East and Africa.
