Multi-Licensed Financial Group with Singapore MPI Licence This is a rare opportunity to acquire an established international financial group operating a fully integrated cross-border payments and foreign exchange platform supported by multiple regulatory licences across Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Background
Founded in 2010, the group has built a robust international payments infrastructure serving more than 150,000 retail and corporate customers across 150+ countries, supporting transactions in over 20 currencies. Backed by US$76.9 million in funding and more than a decade of operational history, the company combines regulatory strength, scalable technology, and proven commercial performance.
With licences spanning Europe, Singapore, Australia and Hong Kong, the group offers immediate access to some of the world’s most important financial markets, eliminating the time, cost and uncertainty associated with building a comparable platform from scratch.
The Crown Jewel – Singapore Major Payment Institution Licence
The centrepiece of this transaction is the group’s Singapore Major Payment Institution (MPI) licence, issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
Widely regarded as one of the most prestigious payment licences in the Asia-Pacific region, the MPI licence authorises the holder to conduct a broad range of regulated payment services from one of the world’s leading financial centres.
Obtaining a new MPI licence has become increasingly challenging. The application process is rigorous, capital intensive and subject to extensive regulatory scrutiny, with relatively few licences granted. Even more importantly, opportunities to acquire an existing MPI-licensed group are exceptionally rare.
For strategic buyers seeking an immediate presence in Asia, this licence alone represents a highly valuable regulatory asset that would be extremely difficult and time-consuming to replicate.
A Truly International Regulatory Platform
Beyond Singapore, the group benefits from a diversified licensing footprint that enables global operations.
Regulatory Authorisations
- European Union – Payment Institution
- Singapore – Major Payment Institution (MAS)
- Australia – Australian Financial Services Licence (ASIC)
- Hong Kong – Money Service Operator
- Services available to UK residents
This combination provides an exceptional foundation for international expansion while significantly reducing regulatory execution risk.
Proven Global Payments Business
The group provides a comprehensive suite of payment and foreign exchange solutions, including:
- International money transfers to more than 150 countries
- Foreign exchange in over 20 currencies
- Corporate payment solutions
- Bulk and supplier payments
- API integrations for enterprise clients
- Treasury and FX services
Client funds are safeguarded through segregated accounts held with leading international banking institutions, including Barclays.
A Platform Built for Growth
The company has demonstrated strong commercial momentum, including:
- More than 150,000 customers
- Operations since 2010
- Approximately 50 employees
- US$76.9 million raised over eight funding rounds
- 98% year-on-year revenue growth
- Established international banking relationships
- Highly scalable technology platform
Investment Opportunity
Acquiring this group is not simply the purchase of a payment company—it is the acquisition of a mature international financial platform anchored by one of the most sought-after regulatory licences in the fintech industry.
For banks, payment institutions, fintech groups, private equity investors and strategic acquirers, this represents a rare opportunity to obtain immediate access to a global payments infrastructure with an exceptionally scarce Singapore regulatory franchise at its core.
