UOB teams up with Razer to launch Razer Pay

The scheme will allow users to top up through eNets and to transfer funds via FAST.

UOB and Razer will launch Razer Pay Singapore as an e-wallet for youth and millennials in the next few months, an announcement revealed. The scheme will enable users to top up their e-wallet using eNETs debit or credit service, or by transferring funds via FAST (Fast and Secure Transfers) directly to Razer, allowing them to pay online and at point-of-sale terminals.

The partnership will tap on the use of PayNow Corporate to allow digital payments for both merchants and e-wallet users through using their business’ unique entity number or the user’s mobile phone number, respectively.

UOB will also aid Razer’s cross-border foreign exchange (FX) transactions through the bank’s digital FX solution that will let Razer access wholesale FX rates when making payments to its global network of merchants.

“More broadly, with the bank’s regional connectivity across ASEAN and scalable payment platforms we look forward to the next step of the journey – supporting Razer Pay beyond local shores,” UOB managing director and head of group transaction banking So Lay Hua said.

Razer Pay initially launched in Malaysia on 4 July 2018 where it has received more than 500,000 sign-ups in less than a week.

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.
