Aqwire, a leading fintech innovator in cross-border and local payments, has officially become the first payments company in the Philippines to process transactions via Google Pay and Apple Pay for cross-border payments. This milestone comes just as the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) clears the use of these payment systems in the country, highlighting Aqwire’s readiness to bring global innovations to Filipino customers.
“This is not just a technological upgrade, it is a leap forward in reshaping how Filipinos access finance,” said Victor Lee, CEO of Aqwire. “By acting swiftly after the BSP’s green light, we are giving millions of Filipinos, whether at home or overseas, the ability to transact securely and seamlessly using platforms they already trust.”
With this integration, customers can now pay via Google Pay and Apple Pay through the Aqwire Portal. Through secure tokenization technology, which replaces sensitive card details with encrypted digital identifiers, customers can now enjoy faster checkouts, fewer errors, and enhanced security.
This breakthrough offers merchants new opportunities to expand their reach and empowers consumers with more secure, convenient, and globally recognized payment options, bridging the gap between traditional finance and modern fintech.
This expanded capability enhances how Aqwire serves its broad global audience, improving convenience for customers everywhere while reinforcing the company’s leadership in the fintech space. The integration meets the highest standards of security, branding, and compliance, marking another step toward Aqwire’s mission of making payments as easy, seamless, and worry-free as possible.
