Singapore’s payment service provider AXS has announced a new partnership with fintech company Aleta Planet to offer remittance services to China.

This collaboration comes as a solution for consumers affected by a recent ban on fund transfers to China through non-bank and non-card channels.

AXS’s mobile app will now enable users to send money via the UnionPay International network, utilising Aleta Planet’s technology for fast and secure transactions, typically within 60 seconds.

The move addresses concerns raised by numerous Chinese nationals who experienced issues with traditional remittance services, including frozen funds due to investigations into money laundering.

AXS is introducing a promotional S$1 transfer fee for the first 5,000 customers, with no minimum remittance requirement initially. Post-promotion, a S$300 minimum will be enforced.
