The company also formed a partnership with EasyPay to enable payments made towards merchant service providers in Hong Kong.

The volume of payments in this region, through Currencycloud, also registered an increase of 66% since first quarter of  2017.

Currencycloud Corporate Development vice-president and co-founder Stephen Lemon said: “Currencycloud has developed a strong presence in Europe, and after making inroads into the US, launching in Asia is a logical next step.

“Partnering with the second largest conglomerate in South Korea was an easy decision to make, as its reach and the sheer size of the market allows us to bring our leading technology to millions of end users who can then benefit from the combined product.”
