Toronto, Canada, Oct. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a move set to redefine global payments, Chimoney, the Toronto-based, Techstars-backed fintech, unveils its strategic integration partnership with the Interledger Foundation (ILF) ? a partnership that promises unparalleled financial inclusion and economic empowerment. This strategic alliance is poised to reshape the landscape of cross-border transactions and global payouts through the integration of the Interledger Protocol (ILP) to Chimoney and with Chimoney bringing its suite of Mobile Money, Airtime, Gift Cards, and Bank payout options to the Interledger ecosystem.

The integration of ILP into Chimoney's robust platform promises to deliver seamless interoperability across many payment networks, from traditional financial systems like Bank Accounts and Mobile Money to emerging payment systems like blockchain. By bridging these diverse financial touchpoints, Chimoney aims to democratize access to financial services, echoing the ethos of the internet's TCP/IP protocol.

• Deployment of Rafiki Infrastructure within Chimoney.
• P2P transfers enabled for Chimoney Wallets via Interledger Payment Pointers.
• Integration of Web Monetization capabilities within Chimoney Wallets.
• Holistic payment experiences through strategic pairings with Interledger providers.

Uchi Uchibeke, CEO of Chimoney, stated, "At Chimoney, our vision has always been clear - to unlock economic opportunities for everyone by breaking down financial barriers and granting universal access to financial services. Integrating the Interledger Protocol into Chimoney's platform is a game-changer. Much like the internet democratized information, this move will enable swift, seamless movement of value across currencies, countries, or payment networks."
