Tribe Payments, a prominent European paytech firm, has announced a strategic partnership with Singapore-based Finmo to deliver integrated treasury and payment services to banks and fintechs across Europe and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. This collaboration seeks to connect these regions with seamless card and non-card payment solutions, enabling real-time cross-border transactions and local payment scheme access in countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
The partnership combines Tribe’s global card scheme connectivity with Finmo’s treasury management tools and Major Payment Institution (MPI) licence. This marks a significant step in Tribe’s APAC expansion, following the launch of its Singapore headquarters in late 2024. Matt Weir, GM Asia-Pacific at Tribe Payments, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “This will further supercharge our money movement offerings across Asia-Pacific and Europe.”
Founded in 2018, Tribe Payments has evolved its platform to provide frictionless customer experiences, offering connectivity through a single integration with major card networks like Mastercard, Visa, and UnionPay. Finmo, established in 2021, offers a comprehensive platform with real-time payment capabilities and holds an MPI licence from Singaporean authorities.
David Hanna, CEO of Finmo, highlighted the partnership’s significance, saying, “Tribe will enable us to offer card issuing and acquiring solutions to APAC and European markets.” This collaboration is set to reshape cross-border financial infrastructure, supporting high-growth sectors like B2B payments and digital commerce.
