(25 June 2026 – Singapore) Atlantic Partners Asia (APA) has entered a strategic partnership with Payfuture to simplify and expand cross border payments into emerging markets across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
The partnership provides APA clients with access to Payfuture’s extensive local payment infrastructure, enabling clients to move funds into key emerging markets efficiently, reliably and at scale. Through a single integration, APA offers clients expanded market access without the need to establish and manage complex local banking and payment relationships.
As demand for cross-border payments into emerging markets continues to grow, clients require trusted partners that can navigate the complexity of local payment ecosystems, regulatory requirements and settlement networks. By combining APA’s cross-border expertise and client network with Payfuture’s local infrastructure and market knowledge, the partnership delivers a streamlined and dependable route into these high-growth markets.
“Our clients are increasingly looking to move funds into high-growth emerging markets, and they expect those payments to be fast, secure and compliant. Payfuture’s extensive local infrastructure and market expertise made them the ideal partner to strengthen our cross-border offering and support our clients’ growth” commented APA Head of Sales and Distribution, Tobias Billingham.
“We’re delighted that APA has chosen Payfuture as a long-term partner for cross-border fund movement into the world’s fastest-growing markets. Our infrastructure is built to move funds into these regions reliably and at scale, and through this partnership we’re helping APA’s clients reach them with confidence” stated Payfuture CEO and Co-Founder, Manpreet Haer.
