Episode Six has been appointed by Monee to support the regional rollout of the ShopeePay Unlimited Card across Southeast Asia, with the card currently live in Thailand.

The card allows users to make online and in-store payments using balances from their ShopeePay wallets and SPayLater accounts.

Monee plans to extend the launch to additional markets in the region.

The partnership will use Episode Six’s cloud-based card issuing and ledger infrastructure to help connect to global payment networks and deploy the product across multiple countries with different regulatory requirements, while supporting compliance across markets.

The infrastructure is deployed across several cloud instances in Asia.

The card rollout is part of Monee’s efforts to expand access to digital financial services in Southeast Asia by embedding payment features into its platforms.

It is intended to offer users a more seamless way to pay at both online and offline merchants across the region.

Monee was previously known as SeaMoney. It is part of Sea’s core businesses, which also include its digital entertainment arm Garena and its e-commerce platform Shopee.

“Monee’s embedded finance strategy spans multiple countries with distinct regulatory frameworks and operational needs, precisely the kind of challenge our technology is built to solve.

As the world’s local processor, we’re proud to help them bring card solutions to millions of people across the region.”

said John Mitchell, CEO and Co-Founder of Episode Six.
