Asia’s trading card game (TCG) community is set for a transformation with the launch of TCG Unite, the region’s first comprehensive marketplace app, debuting on 30 August at SingPost Centre, Singapore. The app aims to address challenges such as fraud and the lack of a unified trading hub by offering a secure platform for buying, selling, and tracking card values.
TCG Unite’s app features a buy-and-sell marketplace, portfolio value tracking, and access to current card pricing data from multiple trusted sources. It also integrates logistics solutions with DHL and SingPost, and plans similar arrangements in Japan and Malaysia to facilitate cross-border trading. Enhanced security measures include Singpass KYC verification for Singapore-based sellers by the end of 2025.
The app’s launch event is expected to draw over 700 attendees, featuring a Card Show with app-exclusive discounts. Mango Teo, Chief Operations Officer of TCG Unite, stated, “As TCG enthusiasts ourselves, we thoroughly understand the pain points faced by various subcommunities. That drives us to make TCG trading more secure and accessible with fairer prices across the board.”
Founded by a team with extensive experience in multinational corporations and entrepreneurial ventures, TCG Unite aims to create a trusted, inclusive, and borderless trading environment. The app not only serves as a marketplace but also fosters community growth through local tournaments, verified giveaways, and educational content across Southeast Asia and beyond.
