South East Asia (SEA) is a very  diverse, eclectic and vibrant region in the Far East, comprising multiple countries with rich cultural tapestries and wide-ranging traditions. Strategically positioned along major trade routes connecting India and China, SEA has become a thriving hub for commerce, with its economies booming from historical times to the present day.

The region is not defined by a single culture but rather by a mosaic of distinct societies, each contributing its unique heritage to the broader SEA identity. European and East Asian historical presences have also left lasting imprints. This diversity means that several key countries are making significant strides in financial technology and inclusion.

Cambodia’s central bank has prioritised rural financial access, while Indonesia, the region’s largest economy, has seen rapid fintech growth, especially in mobile payments and peer-to-peer lending. Thailand is developing its digital economy with a focus on e-commerce and digital payments, complementing its strong tourism sector. Malaysia has established itself as a leader in Islamic finance and is fostering fintech innovation through regulatory sandboxes. Vietnam, with its young and tech-savvy population, is experiencing a surge in e-commerce and digital financial services adoption. Even Laos, though less developed in fintech, is working to improve its digital infrastructure and financial inclusion efforts. These developments across SEA demonstrate the region’s commitment to advancing its financial landscape and embracing digital transformation.

Sending money back home from the region has been a constant complaint so it is important to provide a service to make it as easy as possible and allow affordable international money transfers.
