Australia, Singapore, Malaysia And China Drive Digital Payment Growth As UATP Partners With AsiaPay To Expand Alternative Payment Options For Merchants

Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, and China are positioned as significant facilitators of digital payment evolution across the Asia-Pacific region, bolstered by increasing consumer use of mobile wallets and QR payments. In response to this development, UATP has collaborated with AsiaPay to revise the AVI Alternate Form of Payment policies to better serve the merchants. This enables easier access to mobile wallets in these emerging economies. This collaboration simplifies transaction processing as merchants can now integrate popular local payment systems through UATP’s Ceptor®. So now transactions and reconciliations are much easier. With AsiaPay’s local know-how and UATP’s global payment system, merchants can leverage surging demand of digital payments to improve shopper satisfaction and loyalty while accessing some of the world’s most rapidly expanding digital payment markets.

To better assist businesses, AsiaPay has received access to Ceptor® Pay through an interbank connection with UATP which simplifies the use of alternate payments for merchants. UATP’s intricate network and AsiaPay’s knowledge on the region’s payments will facilitate smoother and faster payments, protecting and increasing customer satisfaction.

The partnership provides UATP merchants with seamless access to AsiaPay’s digital payment solutions, catering to the growing demand for diverse payment methods across corporate and travel sectors. AsiaPay provides services across 17 Asia-Pacific nations, delivering tailored support and in-depth market expertise in major regions including Hong Kong, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, and China.

Through this collaboration, UATP merchants can now offer customers a broader range of digital payment options without complex integration processes. AFPs facilitated by AsiaPay through Ceptor include popular platforms such as Touch ‘n Go, MoMo, LINE Pay, and GCash, with additional payment options available to meet evolving market needs.

Ceptor acts as a bridge for merchants, enabling them to access numerous AFPs offered by UATP without incurring heavy integration costs or adopting new reconciliation methods. The platform is designed to adapt to the unique integration and support structures of each AFP, allowing merchants to process payments using familiar reconciliation procedures while eliminating the need for manual settlement of individual AFP transactions.

This strategic partnership aligns with UATP’s broader mission of simplifying complex payment ecosystems. By integrating AsiaPay’s robust payment infrastructure, UATP provides merchants with tools to enhance customer experience, drive revenue growth, and strengthen client loyalty across vital high-growth markets in Asia. The collaboration not only increases the adoption of alternative payment methods but also enhances operational efficiency for merchants, enabling smoother transaction processing across multiple platforms.

AsiaPay’s presence across diverse Asia-Pacific markets ensures that local business requirements and compliance standards are met while providing global merchants access to advanced digital payment solutions. The partnership empowers merchants to expand their reach and support customers preferring modern, mobile-friendly payment options, which are becoming increasingly essential in corporate travel, e-commerce, and other sectors.

Beyond enabling new payment options, the partnership emphasizes cost efficiency and operational simplicity. UATP merchants can now leverage AsiaPay’s technology without significant upfront investment or the need for specialized technical resources. By reducing the complexity associated with integrating multiple payment systems, businesses can focus on growth, customer engagement, and market expansion rather than technical challenges or manual reconciliation processes.

The UATP-AsiaPay alliance highlights the growing importance of digital payments in global commerce and corporate travel. As businesses increasingly adopt mobile wallets, QR code-based transactions, and other alternative payment solutions, platforms that offer unified integration and automated reconciliation become critical. The partnership demonstrates how technology-driven solutions can transform payment processing, allowing merchants to keep pace with evolving consumer preferences and technological advancements.

Through the growth of its AFP network via Ceptor, UATP strengthens its role as a global leader in providing secure, flexible, and efficient payment solutions. The collaboration with AsiaPay underscores the network’s commitment to helping businesses open new markets, increase operational efficiency, and deliver enhanced payment experiences to their customers worldwide.
