JPMorgan has announced a partnership with Ripple’s subsidiary GTreasury to develop a high-performance payment clearing mechanism for the multinational Franklin Electric. This is set to revolutionize the management and efficiency of intercompany settlements.
JPMorgan partners with Ripple’s GTreasury subsidiary to optimize intercompany settlements
Since its launch in 2012, Ripple has aimed to establish itself as a key player in traditional finance. This unwavering drive finally seems to be resonating with the public, as the cryptocurrency sector becomes more attractive in the United States and around the world.
It must be said that Brad Garlinghouse’s company has come a long way, following several years of open conflict with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the initial sale and regulatory status of its XRP token. A burdensome legal burden now completely cleared by the Trump administration.
A situation that is clearly favorable to the development of its banking solutions, if we are to believe the recent announcement by Owen Biglin, head of cross-border operations for JPMorgan in North America, regarding a partnership with its subsidiary GTreasury, which was acquired for $1 billion in October.
We are proud to partner with GTreasury to offer an innovative netting solution to Franklin Electric, a global leader in water and energy systems.

Simplifying payment operational costs
In practice, this partnership specifically involves the banking giant’s JPMorgan Payments division, which manages corporate payments and treasury operations and serves as the primary provider for certain international financial flows at Franklin Electric (with $2.1 billion in revenue).
The goal? To optimize the system for netting receivables and payables between the multinational’s various offices in order to reduce the number of payments, as well as operational costs such as bank fees and currency exchange, while significantly simplifying accounting management.
With this partnership, Owen Biglin explains how JPMorgan aims to “facilitate smarter and more cost-effective cross-border payments for [its] clients.” A small revolution for Franklin Electric, according to its treasurer, Brooke Moore.
By implementing the partner clearing solution between JPMorgan Payments and GTreasury, we have simplified our workflows and significantly improved our reconciliation process.
