PRNewswireNovember 12, 20247 min

PhotonPay announced that it has become a Mastercard issuer inĀ Hong Kong. The two parties will integrate their respective professional capabilities and resource advantages and work together to provide global enterprises with more efficient and low-cost payment card products to help improve the global business-to-business (B2B) payment experience.Ā In partnership with Mastercard, PhotonPay will also launch the Mastercard Commercial Credit Card inĀ November 2024Ā ā€” a commercial solution tailored to meet the needs of businesses operating in an increasingly globalized digital marketplace.

With the acceleration of economic globalization and digitalization, PhotonPay is keenly aware that increasingly diverse consumption scenariosā€”from advertising, platform rentals, product procurement to warehousing and logistics, air travel and hotels, etc.ā€”make global enterprises pressingly demand safer and more efficient cross-border payment solutions. However, traditional wire transfers and bank transfer methods are no longer able to meet this need due to their low efficiency, cumbersome procedures and high costs.

As a leading global payment platform and digital financial infrastructure provider, PhotonPay continues to apply for licenses globally and build a regulatory compliance framework through financial technology innovation while striving to create integrated payment solutions. The company’s services cover global accounts, global card issuance, global acquiring, global distribution, exchange management and embedded finance, etc. PhotonPay is deeply involved in global trade activities of multiple industries such as international logistics, online air travel agencies, digital marketing and app globalization, fully empowering enterprises to succeed in their global digital transformation.

The new Mastercard Commercial Credit Card is designed to help businesses better navigate market volatility through foreign exchange rate hedging, providing savings on overseas transactions and allowing businesses to make payments globally wherever Mastercard cards are accepted. By leveraging Mastercard’s technology, businesses can generate and issue virtual cards instantly, paying global expenses directly from their PhotonPay multi-currency account, thereby eliminating unnecessary foreign exchange conversion fees.

Providing real-time insights into spending patterns, PhotonPay’s built-in expense management features allow businesses to automate tracking and categorizing expenses and move away from manual processes that sap time and distract team members from their core jobs. As a Mastercard issuer inĀ Hong Kong, PhotonPay aims to deeply integrate its digital platform and product ecosystem with Mastercard’spayment experience to achieve synergy and interoperability of global payment data. It also seeks to further expand payment scenarios, tackling the pain points faced by enterprises arising from slow timeliness and high costs in the payment process. In turn, more convenient card payment products can help companies achieve global business growth.

Lewison Chen, CEO of PhotonPay, said, “This is an important milestone for PhotonPay. We are pleased to join hands with Mastercard. Its global coverage and multi-currency transaction capabilities will further enrich our product line. In the future, we will continue to provide global enterprises with more flexible and agile one-stop digital payment solutions that make use of our digital financial infrastructure.”

Helena Chen, Managing Director,Ā Hong KongĀ &Ā Macau,Ā Mastercard,Ā said, “Mastercard’s strategic partnership with PhotonPay as an issuer inĀ Hong KongĀ leverages Mastercard’s global network and multi-currency capabilities, delivering efficient and cost-effective payment solutions to businesses worldwide. Furthermore, Mastercard is delighted to see PhotonPay launch the new Mastercard Commercial Credit Card, which demonstrates our commitment to fostering global economic growth, providing businesses with essential tools to thrive in today’s digital-first world.”
