Yeo was quoted as saying: “Our partnership with Stripe represents another milestone in our journey to build an e-wallet that can pay for the widest range of everyday needs in Southeast Asia in a safe, convenient and rewarding manner.

“This partnership also builds on our ongoing efforts to help businesses grow online in an increasingly digitally reliant world.”

Stripe head of partnerships APAC Krishnan Rajagopalan said: “Stripe and GrabPay share the goal of making online commerce as frictionless and convenient as possible, so that ambitious companies in Southeast Asia can grow their business.

“This partnership is a very important milestone for Stripe in Southeast Asia – enabling GrabPay as a payment method on Stripe further adds to our Global Payments and Treasury Network, a programmable infrastructure for global money movement.”

The same year, the firm accelerated the use of its mobile wallet in the Philippines in partnership with Filipino retail and real estate conglomerate SM Investments.
