PhotonPay, a digital financial infrastructure service provider, has chosen Tribe Payments as its issuer processor provider.

Tribe was founded in 2018 as an issuer and acquirer processor, and has grown into a digital payments and infrastructure orchestrator that empowers merchants, banks, fintechs, issuers and acquirers with an extensive ecosystem of products, so they can build, customise, and deliver innovative programmes at speed, without compromising quality. Crucially, Tribe is one of the few providers who can easily help fintechs become both an issuer and acquirer through its proprietary API-led technology.  

It is Europe’s only issuer processor working with Mastercard, Visa, American Express, UnionPay International, and Discover – plus acquiring processing with JCB – offering unrivalled global connectivity through just one integration.

Founded in 2015 by Lewison Chen, PhotonPay provides global cash management services to businesses with its innovative core products including Global Accounts, Card Issuing, Online Payments, Payouts, FX Management and Embedded Finance. It is committed to building a digital payment network to take the friction out of global payments and enhance operational efficiency for businesses operating on a global scale.

Headquartered in Hong Kong, PhotonPay provides global transaction coverage and operates 8 offices worldwide, including in the UK, USA, China and Canada. Its solutions are entrusted by over 200,000 enterprises, with an annual transaction volume exceeding US$10 billion.

Thanks to Tribe, PhotonPay will now be able to issue cards to meet one of its primary objectives in satisfying the evolving needs of its customers in a dynamic market.

“We are thrilled to partner with Tribe. This collaboration marks an important step for PhotonPay in expanding our global card issuing capabilities,” said Chao Xu, Head of Product at PhotonPay, “By combining our respective strengths, we aim to deliver superior solutions that drive growth and enhance the customer experience for businesses worldwide.”

“As a trusted payments solution provider, Tribe meets PhotonPay’s requirements for system flexibility, scalability and full customisation. Tribe’s developer-led APIs also enabled PhotonPay to launch a pilot within weeks, and Tribe is now one of its key partners for global deployment.”

Jo Lawrence, Head of Customer Success at Tribe, comments: “We are delighted to be partnering with PhotonPay to introduce cards with multicurrency capabilities in HongKong. It’s a hugely exciting time for Tribe as we look to expand on our presence in the APAC region, and this new partnership perfectly highlights our shared ambitions with PhotonPay.”
