Asia United Bank (AUB) said it is now positioning to become the “digital partner of choice” after successfully teaming up with some of the biggest digital payment networks in the region and in the world.
“Over the years, the entire team at AUB has been forging ahead, working closely with digital partners, to drive shared success and create greater value for our customers and for the country. We have been consistently building our reputation as ‘Digital Partner of Choice’ by advocating for open collaboration and helping others share in our success,” AUB president Manuel Gomez said at the annual stockholders’ meeting on June 28, 2024.
He cited AUB’s HelloMoney e-wallet and its all-in-one digital payment acceptance product, AUB PayMate, which have been revolutionizing cross-border digital payments with the help of regional digital payment networks such as Alipay+, Liquid Group, and Hana Bank of Korea’s GLN International.
AUB signed in March 2024 an agreement with GLN International, the global payment network subsidiary of Korean banking giant KEB Hana Bank, to facilitate cross-border quick response (QR) code payments so Korean tourists can make QR payments to local merchants using the mobile wallets issued in their home country.
