By GlobalDataA growing number of Asian countries, especially those part of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), are working on linking their domestic payment apps to allow interoperability and give access to instant cross-border transactions in multiple currencies.
According to GlobalData, developing interoperable instant payment networks will further encourage people to switch to mobile payment solutions.
Sean Park, CEO at STICPAY, said: “Southeast Asia is estimated to be the 4th largest economy by 2050. Thanks to our LFSA licence, we are now able to expand our core business and tap into this emerging market – and we will do so with the greatest level of regulatory standards and integrity
“The acquisition of our Mauritius licence is another milestone in the growth of our business, and we are delighted that our three licences mean we can now operate with a truly global reach”, Park added.
