Hyperwallet can provide customers with their preferred methods of accessing funds through its global merchant network, which includes ride-hailing apps, marketplaces, and social media platforms. 

Payout preferences for consumers in the APAC region vary based on factors such as banking access, the availability of real-time payment systems, and the utilisation of digital wallets in each market. 

Thunes CEO Floris de Kort said: “Welcoming PayPal’s Hyperwallet into our Direct Global Network underscores our ability to provide powerful new capabilities to top-tier fintechs.  

“With our extensive network that directly, transparently and dependably connects to over 7 billion bank accounts and mobile wallets worldwide, combined with our SmartX Treasury System and our Fortress Compliance Platform, Thunes is uniquely positioned to support Hyperwallet to increase its reach in fast growing geographies to enhance its cross-border payment services.”
