It is said when a business partnership proves successful, subsequent lines of other partnerships follow. This is the case between Novatti payments and Ripple for the past months. Following through with their expanded growth strategy, after the completion of a $40 million capital raising during the September quarter, Novatti is now delivering on providing new payment services.
Novatti — a company that uses Ripple (XRP) for on-demand liquidity, begins promoting CryptoSpend Visa cards in Australia. According to the announcement, the CryptoSpend Visa card supports five cryptocurrencies at the moment.
CryptoSpend bridges the gap between cryptocurrencies and the Australian banking system. Above all, the CryptoSpend Visa card will support Ripple (XRP), Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC).
With the ongoing global shift to digital payments, Novatti takes a strategic stand to make crypto payments easier to spend. Novatti is an Australian leading fintech company that enables businesses to pay and in turn, be paid.
Strikingly, 2022 has been a year of mega-rounds with deals tripling in Q3 2021 (Year-over-Year) YoY and up 147%. Thus, experiencing the most eventful YoY valuation expansion. Likewise, making it the second-highest quarter on record for fintech financing.
