Recently, Falk Rieker, Global Head of Banking Business Units at SAP, spoke of traditional banking institutions, ripples and cross-border payments through the Ripple network.
Falk Rieker said that most banks around the world are involved in blockchain technology business. He also said that everyone is aware that blockchain technology is "too important to ignore".

He also claimed that Alberta Treasury Branches [ATB] a Canadian financial institution focusing on business and retail banking, a well-known SAP client, has made a "significant relocation of its operations" to SAP in the latest years.
According to Reiker, the financial institution wanted to "innovate around its own core" and decided to adopt the Ripple payment solution for cross payments. This was followed by the three companies that decided to streamline their cross-border payments between Canada and Germany.

Rieker went on to say:

He also stated that they were able to process the transaction in 20 seconds. He concluded:
"And this is not only the advantage of cost and time, but it is above all the advantage with regard to the customer's experience."
