The Southeast Asia Region
The application of blockchain technology in the Southeast Asia region has grown substantially in the last few years. Countries like Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand announced the integration of blockchain technology in different sectors including cross-border payments. Novatti partnered recently with leading payments companies worldwide, including Visa, Alipay, UnionPay International, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Marqeta and Decta. The company aims to take advantage of the growing market of Southeast Asia with its recent collaboration.
“This partnership will fast-track Novatti’s international expansion, particularly in South-East Asia. In doing so, we aim to deliver increased transaction volumes and revenue growth for Novatti’s core payment processing business,” Cook mentioned.
