By Gloria Mathias

Primer, the unified infrastructure for global payments, and Singapore-based digital payments solutions provider dtcpay have announced a partnership to facilitate seamless transactions across fiat and stablecoins for Southeast Asian consumers.

Using Primer’s infrastructure, dtcpay will provide more payment options, including credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, for consumers converting fiat to stablecoins. The partnership will also empower dtcpay to expand its offering to merchants, enabling both fiat and stablecoin payments through its online checkout capabilities.

Known for serving the luxury retail and hospitality segments, including Capella Hotel Group, dtcpay’s adoption of Primer’s infrastructure will support the growing demand from high-net-worth individuals seeking to pay seamlessly using stablecoins.

As it targets new markets, including Europe, the Middle East, and the US, dtcpay will leverage Primer’s extensive connections to global payment services, deep market expertise, and experience supporting ambitious, fast-growing businesses to expand internationally.

“This partnership with Primer allows dtcpay to enhance our offerings for our customers in our key segments across luxury and hospitality, allowing us to facilitate better seamless and secure transactions for merchants, whose customers increasingly seek to pay through their preferred stablecoins,” said Alice Liu, CEO & Co-founder of dtcpay.

“Primer provides us with the global reach, advanced payment capabilities, and local market expertise needed to support our business in Southeast Asia and drive our expansion into new markets. We are confident that this partnership will enhance our position as one of the leading platforms for users transacting across fiat and stablecoins,” she adds.

Kailash Madan, Head of Global Sales at Primer, shared, “As the world’s first unified payment infrastructure, we are excited to partner with like-minded innovators like dtcpay, one of the region’s most recognised payment solution providers for stablecoins. As alternative payments increasingly become mainstream, our partnership is making stablecoin payments more accessible while providing merchants and consumers greater flexibility and choice about how they accept and make payments. As part of the partnership, we will also be making dtcpay available on the Primer platform as a payment method to enable our merchants to collect payments through Stablecoins.”
