JPMorgan announces a partnership with Ripple’s GTreasury subsidiary to develop an efficient payment clearing mechanism for multinational Franklin Electric. This will revolutionize the management and efficiency of intercompany payments.
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 motivation finally seems to be paying off, 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, after several years of open conflict with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the initial sale and regulatory status of its XRP token. This cumbersome issue has now been completely cleared up 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 Chase & Co. in North America, regarding a partnership with its subsidiary GTreasury, purchased 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 operating costs
In practice, this partnership specifically involves the banking giant’s JPMorgan Payments division, which is responsible for managing payments and corporate cash flow, but is also the main provider for certain international financial flows for Franklin Electric (US$2.1 billion in revenue).
The goal? To optimize the system for clearing 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 greatly simplifying accounting management.
With this partnership, Owen Biglin explains how JPMorgan Chase Bank wants to “promote 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.
