Recently, WEX Finance, a subsidiary of WEX, secured an issuing license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which allows the company to issue credit and charge cards in Singapore under the Banking Act.
WEX uses single-use virtual credit card (VCC) technology that allots every transaction a unique card number, and offers companies with added controls for security.
Furthermore, the VCC technology is capable of providing efficiencies by reducing reconciliations, queries and invoice processing.
WEX senior vice president and general manager for virtual payments Jim Pratt said: “We are proud to have achieved this important milestone to support the growth of the WEX virtual product in the Asia Pacific region.
