Visa is collaborating with four global finance firms to help FinTechs issue plastic and digital payments, the company announced in a press release on Monday (Dec. 2).
The four new partners — Episode Six, Euronet Worldwide, Global Processing Services and M2P Solutions — have joined the Visa FinTech Fast Track program. The partner firms will collaborate with Visa to enable faster go-to-market for FinTechs looking to launch new payment solutions.
With the program, FinTechs can connect with a single processor to quickly introduce new payments products across a dozen markets in Asia Pacific — Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The partners are certified in mobile wallets, security with the Visa Token Service, cross-border payments and real-time transfers with Visa Direct.
“These partners will provide FinTechs with a faster, easier way to access Visa’s global network and get new payment solutions into their customers’ hands, whether on a physical card or in a digital wallet,” said Chris Clark, regional president of Asia Pacific at Visa. “Through working with Visa’s issuer processor partners, FinTechs can extend their reach into new markets or customer segments.”
