MoneyExpress, Aleta Planet JV to allow remittance to China in one minute

Recipients may use their UnionPay cards to withdraw money in China.

UnionPay’s cross-border remittance service MoneyExpress and fintech firm Aleta Planet have teamed up to allow Chinese nationals in Singapore to remit money back to China in a minute, according to a press release.

With this service, customers can debit money from a Network for Electronic Transfers (NETS) account into a UnionPay business account. Recipients may use their UnionPay cards to withdraw money at all banks or ATM machines that accept UnionPay in China.

It will be available to firms that hire Chinese employees in blue- and white-collar industries in Singapore.

Transactions will be conducted on a secure UnionPay network using a unique proprietary application programming interface, blocking any third-party during the process. The service is supported by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China to meet the relevant capital control standards in the country.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
