    15 Asian fintech startups worth looking at

    It has been almost 2 months since I relocated to Singapore. During this time I saw about 100 fintech projects at different stages. My last article was dedicated to 5 most promising mPOS-acquiring startups, and now I’d like to introduce 15 more projects.

    Transfers and payments: Fastacash (Singapore), Ayannah (Philippines)

    Online acquiring: 2C2P (Singapore-Thailand)

    eWallets: VMoney (Philippines), HomePay (Singapore)

    Alternative capital sources for SME: p2b-lending – CapitalMatch (Singapore) and crowdinvesting – Crowdonomic (Singapore)

    Big-data: online scoring – Lenddo (Philippines-USA) and geo-tracking – TIDE (Malaysia)

    Cash registers: Mobikon (Singapore-India), StoreHub (Malaysia), ARMS (Malaysia) REV (Malaysia), HotTab (Vietnam)

    Trading: TradeHero (Singapore-China)

    Online-lending: PawnHero (Philippines)

    So let’s go down to the details:

    Fastacash

    An open API system for banks (Southeast Asia, India, South Africa), payment systems like Mastercard/Visa/AmEx, telecom operators and remittance systems that is integrated with social networks and messengers . It allows users to transfer money to anyone via any messenger or social network just by using a person’s nickname. Choose someone from your contacts and send him the money. The system withdraws it from your bank account or card and transfers it to that person. Fastacash recently integrated with Axis Bank – the second biggest bank in India. The company is managed by a very experienced and strong team.
