Global payments infrastructure provider Payfuture has entered into a strategic partnership with Atlantic Partners Asia (APA), aiming to simplify and expand cross-border fund movement into emerging markets across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
The agreement gives APA and its clients direct access to Payfuture’s local payment infrastructure through a single integration, allowing businesses to move funds into high-growth economies without the need to establish and manage multiple local banking relationships.
The partnership comes as demand for cross-border payments into emerging markets continues to rise, driven by increasing international trade, digital commerce, and global business expansion. However, companies often face challenges navigating fragmented payment systems, local regulations, and settlement processes across different jurisdictions.
By combining APA’s cross-border payments expertise and client network with Payfuture’s regional infrastructure and market knowledge, the two companies say they can offer clients a more streamlined and reliable way to access emerging markets.
Growing Demand From Businesses
«This partnership reflects growing demand from businesses seeking efficient access to the world’s fastest-growing economies,» said Manpreet Haer, CEO and co-founder of Payfuture. “Our infrastructure is built to move funds into these regions reliably and at scale, and through this collaboration we’re helping APA’s clients reach them with confidence.»
APA said the partnership will strengthen its ability to support clients with increasingly global operations while ensuring payments remain secure, compliant, and efficient.
«Our clients are increasingly looking to move funds into high-growth emerging markets, and they expect those payments to be fast, secure and compliant,» said Tobias Billingham, Head of Sales and Distribution at APA. “Payfuture’s extensive local infrastructure and market expertise made them the ideal partner to strengthen our cross-border offering and support our clients’ growth.”
Both companies described the agreement as the beginning of a longer-term relationship focused on expanding payment capabilities and supporting businesses operating across international markets.
Payfuture’s payment network currently spans multiple markets across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, providing APA’s clients with broader access to regions that are attracting growing investment and commercial activity.
