United Overseas Bank (UOB) has partnered with gaming hardware manufacturer Razer to assist the launch of e-wallet Razer Pay Singapore.

The new e-wallet, targeted at youth and millennials, is expected to be launched in the next few months.

Under the partnership, UOB will offer several payment and cash management solutions to enable Razer Pay Singapore customers recharge their wallets and process payments for Razer Pay merchants.

To recharge the e-wallet, users can also use the eNETS debit or credit service or transfer funds through FAST (Fast and Secure Transfers).

Additionally, UOB will also facilitate Razer’s cross-border foreign exchange (FX) transactions through its digital FX solution. The solution will enable Razer to access wholesale FX rates while making cross-border payments to its merchants.

UOB managing director and head of group transaction banking and group wholesale banking So Lay Hua said: “Working with an innovative trailblazer brand, such as Razer, at the start of their journey to launch an e-payment solution, aligns with UOB’s commitment to champion a robust digital payments landscape in Singapore.
