Payfuture, APA expand cross-border payments reach

By Milan Rojan

Payfuture has partnered with Atlantic Partners Asia (APA) to strengthen cross-border payment capabilities for businesses seeking to expand into emerging markets.

The partnership has enabled APA’s clients to access Payfuture’s payment infrastructure through a single integration, helping businesses move funds across multiple markets without the complexity of establishing local banking relationships or navigating fragmented payment ecosystems.

Manpreet Haer, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Payfuture, said the company’s infrastructure has been developed to enable reliable and scalable payments into emerging markets. He noted that the collaboration would help APA’s clients access new growth opportunities while maintaining efficient payment flows.

As demand for international trade and digital commerce continues to grow, companies are increasingly seeking faster and more efficient ways to transact across borders. The collaboration was designed to address these challenges by simplifying access to local payment networks and supporting seamless fund transfers into high-growth markets.

Through the partnership, businesses have leveraged Payfuture’s network of local payment rails and market expertise while benefiting from APA’s distribution capabilities. The companies said the combined offering has been created to reduce operational complexity and help organisations scale their international payment operations more efficiently.

Tobias Billingham, Head of Sales and Distribution at APA, said businesses are increasingly looking for secure, compliant and cost-effective ways to send and receive payments across international markets. He added that the partnership expands the options available to clients seeking to grow their global footprint.

The alliance reflects the continued focus across the payments industry on improving cross-border transaction experiences and reducing barriers to international expansion. By combining global reach with local payment expertise, Payfuture and APA aim to support businesses as they navigate the complexities of operating across multiple jurisdictions and payment environments.

The partnership is expected to enhance payment accessibility for companies targeting emerging markets while streamlining cross-border commerce and financial operations.
