Aspire taps J.P. Morgan for global FX capabilities

Deal starts with five-currency wallet conversions.

Aspire has partnered with J.P. Morgan Payments to provide foreign exchange services for wallet-based fund conversions as the Singapore fintech expands its cross-border finance infrastructure.

Under the collaboration, J.P. Morgan Payments will become a key FX provider to Aspire, supporting pricing, corridor access and settlement infrastructure across markets. The initial phase covers FX-to-wallet conversion in Singapore, US, Hong Kong, UK and eurozone currencies.

Aspire said the arrangement will allow customers to convert and manage funds within their Aspire wallets across SGD, USD, GBP, EUR and HKD. The company said it serves more than 50,000 businesses globally.

The tie-up comes as Aspire broadens its international footprint. Over the past year, it secured eight licences and registrations across Australia, Europe and the US to support services including multicurrency accounts, payments, cards and spend management.

J.P. Morgan Payments provides treasury services, trade and working capital, card and merchant services. The business processes more than $10t of payments daily across more than 160 countries and over 120 currencies.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
