===Earthport and Ripple===
The DLH is a service accessed through Earthport’s Distributed [[Ledger]] Gateway, announced in August of 2015, that will provide full connectivity into [[Ripple]], including private Ripple instances, Ripple market makers, and in time, other Distributed Ledgers.

Building on Earthport’s Distributed Ledger Gateway, the new Hub will offer a solution for banks which are increasingly challenged with the competing constraints of lower budgets and the need to keep up with radical changes in technology. Through DLH, Earthport’s clients can gain access to the full benefits of Distributed Ledger Technology at minimal effort and cost through a single API; a global first for the industry.
The extended service will simplify and accelerate the adoption and implementation of Distributed Ledger Technologies for the banking community - allowing banks to swiftly move into this new world of payments without additional heavy investment in infrastructure, compliance or operational requirements. This is achieved via full access to the Ripple ecosystem through a single contract, a single technical integration, and a single service relationship.

In addition to Ripple, through the same [[Api|API]], clients can access all payment methods offered by Earthport in over 60 countries in a fast and highly cost effective manner, following the same rigorous compliance processes used in all Earthport transactions. Earthport’s services in the DLH are conducted entirely in Fiat currency with no use of crypto currencies<ref>https://www.earthport.com/news-insights/news/launch-of-the-distributed-ledger-hub-a-world-first/ Earthport – Distributed Ledger and Ripple Network</ref>.

This development aligns directly with Earthport's core mission to provide access to as many countries, currencies, accounts and payment types as possible through a single API.

===Earthport fees===
Using the Ripple protocol is completely free; Ripple Labs makes money on protocol through the Ripple currency. As more people begin using the protocol, the value of Ripple will increase. The company could also make money on value added services such as helping clients with specific integrations.

Earthport charges a flat, per-[[transaction]] fee.
