FOMO Pay Partners With Circle to Integrate USD Coin Into Its Services

Date:

Singapore-based major payment institution FOMO Pay has entered into a strategic agreement to collaborate with Circle Internet Financial, a global financial technology firm and sole issuer of USD Coin (USDC).

FOMO Pay will integrate USDC into its services, allowing its merchant, corporate and financial institution clients to seamlessly convert between USDC and fiat currency.

Circle had announced its intention to establish a regional hub in Singapore and its participation in a Lighthouse Project with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) in November 2021,

The initiative aims to demonstrate how digital currencies, open payment systems, and regulation can solve business and regulatory challenges while fueling economic growth and Web 3.0 financial innovations.

In September last year, FOMO Pay was granted a Digital Payment Token (DPT) Service license by MAS.

The company now holds four out of seven key regulated activities under the Payment Services Act’s (PSA) licensing framework.

Additionally, FOMO Pay was among the first DPT licensees to join the DBS Digital Exchange as a member.

With our newly-acquired DPT license, this collaboration fits FOMO Pay’s plans to build Web 3.0 payment infrastructure for the crypto economy that will also support a more inclusive society with broader access to financial services made possible by the efficiency of our crypto payments and commerce solutions,”

said Louis Liu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, FOMO Pay.
