Tribe Payments expands into APAC with new office in Singapore
By Gloria Mathias
Tribe Payments, a provider of digital payments and infrastructure, has announced the opening of its Singapore office. The move is part of Tribe’s expansion into the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, signalling its ongoing commitment to delivering digital payment solutions across global markets.
Tribe serves over half a dozen clients in the region, and this physical expansion into APAC follows a period of growth across Europe and Asia. The new office in Singapore will serve as a hub to support banks, fintechs, and financial institutions across the region who want to tap into the company’s innovative payment platform.
To lead its efforts in this dynamic region, Tribe has appointed payments industry veteran Matt Weir as General Manager of Asia Pacific. Matt brings with him extensive global payments experience, having lived and worked across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia for over two decades.
His career spans both the issuing and acquiring sides of the industry. He has a track record of driving growth and developing payment strategies in corporate environments, such as at JCB, Visa, and Euronet, and at FinTech companies, including EedenBull and Praemium.
Having been based in Singapore for the past 17 years, Matt will lead Tribe’s expansion into the region. His deep understanding of the APAC payments landscape, its cultural nuances, and his extensive network of senior industry contacts will all play a pivotal role in establishing Tribe’s presence.
Commenting on his new role, Matt shared, “I am delighted to join the Tribe team and to have the privileged position of leading the company’s launch and expansion into the APAC region. No other digital payment player offers this breadth of solution design and implementation.”
Andrew Hocking, CEO of Tribe Payments, added: “The APAC market is thriving with innovation, and our enhanced presence here will allow us to support better the region’s banks, fintechs, and financial institutions as they navigate an increasingly digital and dynamic landscape. Our Singapore office will serve as a hub of expertise, enabling us to form deeper partnerships and provide tailored services that meet the unique needs of the market. With our robust and scalable platform, we’re confident that Tribe will play a key role in shaping the future of payments across APAC.”
