TAIPEI, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- OwlTing Group ("Company"), a global blockchain fintech company, today announced plans to implement Visa Direct solutions under a global agreement with Visa, a world leader in digital payments to provide real-time cross-border payments for individual and business customers. This agreement will provide OwlTing an opportunity toย potentially reach over 8.5 billion endpoints[1] in Visa's payment network worldwide.

With Visa Direct, OwlTing can allow its U.S. customers to transfer money seamlessly across regions through OwlPayยฎ, its Web2 and Web3 hybrid payment solution inย two phases of integrationย of the Company's payment services with Visa Direct solutions. The Company aims to complete itsย integration with Visa Direct Account[2] and Visa Direct Card[3] solutions by the end of 2024 and by the end of the first quarter of 2025, respectively.

Corporate users that needย to pay their business partners overseas orย individual users such as parents who want to transfer funds to their children studying abroad can leverage OwlPayยฎ as a fast, secure, and cost-effective solutionย to make instant money transfer transactions.

"We're excited to work with Visa to streamline new standards for how businesses and consumers move money across borders," said Darren Wang, Founder and CEO at OwlTing Group. "This collaboration will enable OwlPayยฎ to support payouts in over 160 currencies to more than 190 regions worldwide once fully integrated. Together, OwlPayยฎ can visualize the futureย of payments and create new possibilities for a more interconnected world."

"Visa has been looking for like-minded partners like OwlTing," commented Jakub Petri, Senior Director of Global Visa Direct at Visa. "With Visa Direct's global reach and reliability, this empowers OwlTing to offer their clients faster and more dependable international transactions. Their ambition aligns with our shared vision of transforming global payments and driving growth together."

After completingย the first phase of the integration, OwlPayยฎ will be able to utilize the Visa Direct Account solution to meet its various client needs, including cross-border business disbursement and peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers. Users in the U.S. will be able toย send money from their bank accounts or debit cards via OwlPayยฎ to proceed with payouts toย 26 key regions[4] in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

In the next phaseย of integration, OwlPayยฎ expects to expand its service through the Visa Direct Card solution to allow users to use credit cards to initiate cross-border transactions that could clear seamlessly within seconds. The integration makes it easier for OwlPayยฎ users in the U.S. to transferย funds directly to eligible bank accounts, cards, and wallets in even more regions around the world.

"OwlTing will be in a good position to support businesses byย saving costs and improvingย efficiency with our Web3 payment solution," said Darren Wang. "We can also address pain points in cross-border transactions between the U.S. and high-demand markets such as Brazil, Peru, and Mexico[5] where we believe most individual users prefer to use digital money transfers for remittances."
