With digital payments in ASEAN expected to triple to US$1.5 trillion (S$2 trillion) by 2030, the Group believes it is well-placed to benefit from this burgeoning market opportunity, given its established infrastructure and expanding geographical footprint. Asia also leads the growth in non-cash transactions globally, registering a five-year CAGR of 24% to US$244 billion in 2019, driven by its soaring Internet economy.
Mr Henry Tan, Managing Director of OxPay, said: “We are pleased to unveil this partnership with ShopeePay, which will provide greater ease and convenience to our users. With the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating the shift away from cash towards digital or online payments both in Singapore and the region, offering ShopeePay as another payment option on our platform allows us to capitalise on this significant and growing market opportunity.”
OxPay is focused on servicing merchants in the retail, transportation and food and beverage industries. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, MC Pay Pte. Ltd., which was established in 2005, holds a major payment institution licence in Singapore, and is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore under the Payment Services Act 2019.
