The judges selected this winner because this company offers a POS system that’s equipped with mobile capabilities. It integrates seamlessly with 5G to allow merchants to save time and money in accepting payments, which also better serves customers by giving them more payment options.”

Asia FinTech Awards

The PayTech of the Year award underscores our success in integrating cryptocurrency with traditional financial systems.

The judges were very impressed that this company is offering seamless integration of payment processes, and their payment wallet accepts both monetary and digital currencies, making it easy for customers to have their funds in one place.”
