Aspire, which has launched cost-effective cross-border payments in Hong Kong, is leveraging the Wise Platform to build a connected financial ecosystem.

The Wise Platform, a global payment infrastructure for banks and enterprises developed by Wise, supports integration into Aspire’s platform. With this setup, customers can send money in over 40 currencies across countries such as Singapore, the United States, Australia, Japan, and Korea.

Enhancing Partnership with Wise Platform

Aspire views cross-border transactions as crucial for global commerce, particularly beneficial for businesses seeking speed and cost-efficiency to grow. By integrating Wise’s infrastructure directly into Aspire, the company aims to create a seamless experience where payments, expenses, transfers, and cards work together to provide faster solutions at lower transaction costs.

The partnership started in Singapore in 2019 to extend cross-border payments driven by the Wise Platform. This move aligns with both companies’ vision of creating a unified financial operations system for modern businesses. In Hong Kong’s business environment, where daily border-crossing operations are common, offering an updated solution for international payments is vital when selecting a partner.

Wise Platform highlighted that its partnership with Aspire will provide speed, transparency, and end-to-end payment control as expected by customers and partners. By working with Wise Platform, banks and large companies can incorporate fast, cost-effective, and transparent solutions into their existing infrastructure.

Expanding Reach Through Partnerships

The partnership with Aspire also comes alongside Wise Platform’s collaborations with GoTyme Bank for improving remittances in the Philippines and Lunar to expand cross-border payments in the Nordics. These partnerships underscore Wise’s commitment to helping its partners save time and reduce costs, thereby delivering faster, cheaper, and more transparent financial solutions to their customers.
