XTransfer has received in-principle approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore for a Major Payment Institution Licence. This licence allows XTransfer to offer various services including account issuance, domestic and cross-border money transfers, and e-money issuance.

Following the MPI licence approval, XTransfer plans to launch comprehensive e-business wallet services in Singapore. These services aim to facilitate account opening, enable convenient top-up options, offer currency exchange services, and streamline cross-border fund collection and payment solutions designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in global trade. Officials from XTransfer talked about Singapore's strategic geographic advantage and status as an international financial and trade hub.

The company's immediate priority is deploying localised solutions for Singaporean SMEs, followed by an extension of services across Southeast Asia.
