7-Eleven partners with local fintech to launch cash-based remittance service

Payers will be able to remit using cash via a generated QR-code bill.

7-Eleven has collaborated with fintech Pay2Home for a new service that will manage cash-based remittances, announced the company.

The launch of the new service is in line with the companies’ goal to serve the underbanked in Singapore, which includes migrant workers who remit funds as a basic necessity, but are often excluded from fintech innovation, resulting in limited access to the full benefits of digital services.

Through the partnership, those without a bank account, debit card, or the familiarity to use either, may now initiate a remittance transaction using the Pay2Home mobile app. Payers will be able pay instantly via a generated QR-code bill using cash at any 7-Eleven store. The transaction is also made available for immediate delivery overseas.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
