Wirecard, Asia, payment gateway, WOW Digital Technologies, Bankograph, Wirecard has signed agreements with WOW Digital Technologies to sell its payment gateway platform and card management solutions business units in Asia Pacific. The transaction is subject to closing conditions. Following closing, the payment gateway platform will be managed by Bankograph Pte. Limited, a processing partner of WOW Digital Technologies.

Wirecard’s payment gateway business supports financial institutions in Singapore, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and Australia to checkout systems of online and offline merchants.

Bankograph is well-poised to offer a stable of innovative technology products to our new bank partners on top of the payment gateway platform,” said Alexander Gold, CEO Bankograph.
