Visa has partnered with Mintoak, a merchant-focused Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider, to extend advanced capabilities to acquirers throughout the Asia Pacific region. This collaboration aims to empower acquirers to offer a broader suite of value-added services to their merchant clients, including digital solutions and data analytics. Mintoak’s platform enables acquirers to integrate innovative tools directly into their existing infrastructure, streamlining operations and enhancing merchant experiences. The partnership will initially focus on markets like India, Singapore, and Australia, with plans for further expansion. By combining Visa’s global network and Mintoak’s technology, the companies intend to accelerate the adoption of digital payments and support the growth of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the region. This move signifies a growing trend towards embedded finance and customized solutions within the payments industry. The integration is expected to improve efficiency and provide merchants with greater control over their payment processes.
