TransferMate clinches MAS approval to add payment services

This expands its existing suite of products in Singapore to include storing funds.

TransferMate Pte. Ltd. has received in-principle approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to add account issuance, domestic money transfers, and e-money issuance services.

TransferMate previously secured a major payment institution (MPI) licence in May 2019.

The approval will expand TransferMate’s existing suite of products in Singapore to now include the ability to store funds in a local dedicated Global Account.

“By unlocking these capabilities, TransferMate’s Global Accounts solution becomes even more powerful for clients with operations in Asia, making it easier to move money into and out of the region, convert currencies, and run payroll or supplier payments - all from one platform,” the fintech said in a press release.

TransferMate enables businesses to make, receive, and hold payments in over 140 currencies across 200+ countries and territories.

Its latest announcement is part of its continued journey towards securing over 100 licenses globally.

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.
