Razorpay

The future of payments in Southeast Asia doesn’t hinge on any single innovation. It depends on whether we can align the systems, policies, and mindsets that shape how money moves. The goal isn’t simply to digitize transactions; it’s to make digital payments so intuitive, reliable, and inclusive that they become invisible to end consumers.

India’s fintech firm Razorpay has on Thursday announced its expansion into Singapore, marking its second destination in South-East Asia.

Indian Fintech Unicorn Razorpay has on Wednesday launched a full-stack payment gateway in Malaysia through Curtech, a Malaysian fintech firm it acquired last year. The Curlec Payment Gateway will serve more than 5,000 businesses with a target of MYR 10 billion ($2.15 billion) in annualized gross transaction value (GTV) by 2025.

Razorpay announced Tuesday its first international expansion into South-East Asia with the acquisition of a majority stake in Curlec for an undisclosed amount. This marks Razorpay’s fourth acquisition overall and its first in international waters, taking one step closer to becoming a fintech leader in emerging markets.
