Thunes, a global payments company specialising in cross-border transactions, has integrated Hyperwallet, a PayPal service, into its Direct Global Network.
The partnership expands payout options for merchants in the Asia-Pacific region, enabling Hyperwallet customers to send funds to over 450 million mobile wallets and bank accounts across Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, and Vietnam.
This collaboration leverages Thunes‘ global network, which connects to over 7 billion bank accounts and mobile wallets worldwide.
By integrating its proprietary systems, Thunes aims to support Hyperwallet in facilitating cross-border payments for its merchant base, including ride-hailing apps, marketplaces, and social media platforms.
The Asia Pacific region accounts for nearly 70% of global digital wallet spending, according to a 2024 Deloitte report.
