7-Eleven partners with local fintech to launch cash-based remittance service

Payers will be able to remit using cash via a generated QR-code bill.

7-Eleven has collaborated with fintech Pay2Home for a new service that will manage cash-based remittances, announced the company.

The launch of the new service is in line with the companies’ goal to serve the underbanked in Singapore, which includes migrant workers who remit funds as a basic necessity, but are often excluded from fintech innovation, resulting in limited access to the full benefits of digital services.

Through the partnership, those without a bank account, debit card, or the familiarity to use either, may now initiate a remittance transaction using the Pay2Home mobile app. Payers will be able pay instantly via a generated QR-code bill using cash at any 7-Eleven store. The transaction is also made available for immediate delivery overseas.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
