XREX, a blockchain finance firm in Singapore, has achieved significant success. On May 13, 2024, XREX Singapore announced it officially obtained the valued Major Payment Institution (MPI) License from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the nation’s central bank and financial authority. This development comes after XREX’s preliminary approval for the license in November 2023.
“Our engagements with the MAS have repeatedly shown us why they are internationally revered as a leading central bank and financial regulator,” said Christopher Chye, XREX Singapore CEO. “With this license in hand, XREX Singapore will endeavor to bring blockchain-enabled digital payment currencies to ubiquity.”
XREX’s primary objective is to enable smooth and efficient cross-border monetary transactions, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) situated in developing economies. This focus directly aligns with their mission of fostering financial accessibility within these regions.
Historically, cross-border financial operations can be time-consuming, costly, and fraught with complications. XREX’s blockchain-based solutions seek to simplify this process, rendering it speedier, more cost-effective, and more secure.
“The MPI licence is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the highest regulatory compliance standards,” said XREX Co-founder and Group CEO Wayne Huang. “We look forward to working with one of the world’s leading regulators to make blockchain finance safe and accessible to the general public.”
XREX Singapore Launches XREX Pay For Cross-Border Solutions
XREX Singapore is set to launch XREX Pay, a comprehensive platform designed to bolster businesses with robust cross-border B2B payment functionalities. This move capitalizes on the MPI License, a significant development that positions XREX Singapore as a key player in the evolving financial landscape.
XREX Pay will offer innovative remittance solutions, catering to migrant workers who need to send money back to their home countries. The platform will support a diverse range of currencies, including the Singapore Dollar (SGD), US Dollar (USD), and popular stablecoins like USDT and USDC.
Notably, XREX Pay prioritizes security by adhering to the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) travel rule, ensuring a robust and compliant system. This commitment to compliance and innovation, combined with the backing of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), strengthens XREX’s position to empower businesses, promote financial inclusion, and shape the future of cross-border payments.
