Within the fintech sphere, we celebrate innovations and achievements. And there is nothing more relevant today than reuniting a fragmented but globalised world through cross-wallet collaboration.

If you haven’t heard, Malaysian e-wallet Bigpay has just announced a partnership with Chinese e-commerce giant Alipay, offering direct money transfer from one wallet to another. That’s a significant breakthrough.

We anticipate more and more such collaborations. What does this mean to local businesses and consumers? Well, more competition means more competitive fees, and that bodes well for the growth and accessibility of sustainable payments moving forward.
