Singapore-based digital payments provider dtcpay is joining forces with global payments infrastructure firm Primer to simplify transactions between fiat currencies and stablecoins.
dtcpay had recently announced that it will be making a strategic shift to exclusively support stablecoins for all its payment services starting in January 2025.
This partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for easy-to-use stablecoin payment options in Southeast Asia and beyond.
dtcpay will utilise Primer’s technology to offer customers a wider range of payment methods, including traditional options like credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, when converting fiat currency to stablecoins.
This collaboration also allows dtcpay to expand its services to merchants, enabling them to accept both fiat and stablecoin payments through its online checkout system. Primer will make dtcpay available on its platform as a payment method, allowing merchants to collect stablecoin payments.
Known for its work with luxury retailers and hotels, including the Capella Hotel Group, dtcpay’s adoption of Primer’s infrastructure will cater to high-net-worth individuals who want to make payments seamlessly using stablecoins.
With plans to expand into Europe, the Middle East, and the US, dtcpay will rely on Primer’s global network, market knowledge, and experience in supporting rapidly growing businesses. The partnership highlights how merchants increasingly view payments as a growth driver, leveraging Primer’s unified infrastructure to innovate, scale, and adapt to market demands.

Alice Liu, CEO and Co-founder of dtcpay, said,
“This partnership with Primer allows dtcpay to enhance our offerings for our customers in our key segments across luxury and hospitality, allowing us to better facilitate seamless and secure transactions for merchants, whose customers increasingly seek to pay through their preferred stablecoins.
Primer provides us with the global reach, advanced payment capabilities, and local market expertise needed to support our business in Southeast Asia and drive our expansion into new markets. We are confident that this partnership will enhance our position as one of the leading platforms for users transacting across fiat and stablecoins.”

Kailash Madan, Head of Global Sales at Primer, said,
“As alternative payments increasingly become mainstream, our partnership is making stablecoin payments more accessible while providing merchants and consumers greater flexibility and choice about how they accept and make payments. As part of the partnership, we will also be making dtcpay available on the Primer platform as a payment method, to enable our merchants to collect payments through stablecoins.
We look forward to growing our partnership with dtcpay as they expand globally, supported by the expertise of our global team. As merchants increasingly view payments as a driver of growth, we’re focused on redefining what’s possible with unified infrastructure that removes barriers. By seamlessly integrating the best tools and services, we enable merchants to innovate, adapt, and scale with complete freedom.”
