After all, FOMO Pay’s mission is to be the leading global banking service provider for the fast-growing digital economy. In line with this, it aims to extend its client base to embrace digital payments and accelerate digital adoption.
It is also looking to diversify product offerings following the strong crypto adoption, and this includes working closely with regulators on Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) projects.
Additionally, it is also eyeing geographic expansion with a first-mover advantage on license and compliance into other jurisdictions.
2022 has so far been a breakout year for FOMO Pay – we are seeing significant growth across all business lines. Our volumes for the first half of 2022 have already surpassed the full year 2021 levels and our client pipeline is extremely strong. We attribute this success to the hard work of our team and their effort to always put customers first.
This is a milestone year for us as we turn eight years old. We will continue to strive hard towards building Asia’s first licensed payment ecosystem with interoperability between fiat and crypto currencies, and we are grateful to the unwavering support and belief from our investors, stakeholders and partners.
