25 March 2026, Singapore - The Global Fintech Institute (GFI) is proud to announce UQPAY Group as a Silver Corporate Patron. This partnership signals a meaningful, strategic alignment between UQPAY’s vision for the future of global payments and GFI’s mission to advance fintech education and professional standards worldwide.
UQPAY Group is a Singapore-headquartered global fintech company providing integrated digital payment infrastructure for businesses worldwide. Founded in 2016, UQPAY has secured multiple payment licences across Asia, North America, and Europe, and operates as a principal member of Visa, Mastercard, and UnionPay International. Its compliant, full-stack platform enables access to global acquiring, virtual banking, card issuing, and stablecoin services through a single integration. The company is now building AI- and Web3-enabled next-generation payment infrastructure to support borderless commerce and reshape global money flows.
GFI’s Corporate Patronage Programme is designed for organisations that want to do more than observe the development of fintech. They want to shape it. UQPAY’s decision to join the Silver tier places them among a select group of partners who are actively contributing to the growth of the fintech profession and the broader digital finance ecosystem.
As a Silver Patron, UQPAY will support two full CFtP scholarships, creating direct pathways for professionals to gain globally recognised fintech credentials, and nominate an Industry Fellow, recognising outstanding expertise within the payments and digital finance space. UQPAY will also benefit from priority access to GFI’s strategic programmes, councils, and closed-door roundtables, bringing their deep expertise in cross-border payment infrastructure directly into the conversations shaping fintech’s future. Their corporate listing on GFI’s FLEX Talent Hub will open pathways to the industry’s most talented emerging professionals, while the opportunity to contribute practitioner insights to the Annual Journal of Fintech provides a platform for thought leadership at the highest level.
Ho Hui Yi, Chief Strategy Officer of the Global Fintech Institute, said:
“As the payments landscape evolves at an extraordinary pace, driven by AI, stablecoins, and the demand for seamless cross-border infrastructure, partnerships with companies like UQPAY become essential. Their deep expertise in building compliant, next-generation payment platforms is exactly the kind of real-world knowledge that enriches our community and ensures GFI remains at the cutting edge of fintech education and practice. We are delighted to welcome UQPAY as a Silver Corporate Patron.”
Carol Wu, Chief Strategy Officer of UQPAY, said:
“Our goal has always extended beyond building payment infrastructure. We want to help build a collaborative fintech ecosystem driven by innovation and shared value. Partnering with GFI as a Silver Corporate Patron gives us the opportunity to invest directly in the people and the knowledge that will carry this industry forward. As AI and Web3 continue to reshape how money moves globally, structured fintech education and strong professional networks have never been more important. We are proud to contribute to that mission alongside GFI.”
