Your gateway to Asia's trading markets
We help fintech companies enter and scale across Asia — with market-native strategy, operational infrastructure, and relationships that took years to build.
THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
Entering Asia without local presence is expensive and slow. Regulatory landscapes differ market by market. Relationships with exchanges, banks, and regulators are hard to build remotely. Most international fintechs either stall at market entry or burn runway on the wrong approach.
We've been on the inside. We know the landscape — and the people in it.
WHAT WE BRING
Your Asia expansion toolkit
Four capabilities that get you from strategy to live operations.
Market Entry Strategy
Regulatory mapping, go-to-market sequencing, and licensing pathway analysis for MAS (Singapore), SFC (Hong Kong), ASIC (Australia), SC (Malaysia), FSA (Seychelles), and FSC (Mauritius). We tell you where to enter first, and why.
Relationship Network
Direct introductions to exchanges, liquidity providers, PSPs, banks, and institutional counterparties across the region. Not warm leads — working relationships.
Operational Foundation
Your Asia entity launches on proven infrastructure — Equinix-hosted environments, MT4/MT5 or digital asset platforms, compliance workflows, and 24/7 operational support from day one.
Ongoing Growth Support
We stay in after launch. Client acquisition support, local partnership development, and operational scaling as your business grows.
MARKETS WE COVER
Seven markets, one partner
Regulated jurisdictions across Asia-Pacific and offshore financial centres.
Singapore MAS-regulated hub. Ideal first entry point for FX and digital assets.
Hong Kong SFC licensed venue. Strong for institutional crypto and structured products.
Japan FSA-regulated. High-volume retail FX, world's largest by notional.
Australia ASIC regime. Growing crypto and CFD brokerage market.
Malaysia SC regulated. Emerging retail trading market with strong regional flows.
Seychelles FSA-regulated. Popular jurisdiction for FX and crypto brokerages with global client reach.
Mauritius FSC-regulated. Offshore financial centre with strong Asia-Africa connectivity.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for fintechs expanding into Asia
FX brokers expanding from Europe or the US
You have a product that works in your home market. You need a local partner who can open doors, navigate licensing, and run ops while you focus on the business.
Crypto exchanges seeking institutional distribution
You need relationships with TradFi institutions, PSPs, and regional exchanges. We bridge the gap between your product and Asia's institutional liquidity ecosystem.
Fintech platforms entering financial services
Payments, lending, or neobanking businesses moving into trading infrastructure need a trusted operator on the ground with a clean regulatory track record.
HOW WE WORK
From discovery to scale
A structured path from first conversation to live operations.
Discovery call
We map your goals, current stage, and target markets. No pitch deck needed.
Market entry brief
We deliver a written assessment: right markets, right sequence, right structure.
Launch partnership
We deploy infrastructure, make introductions, and support regulatory engagement.
Scale together
Ongoing retainer or project-based engagement as your Asia business grows.
WHY TRANSACTCLOUD
Operators, not outsiders
We are based in Singapore. Our principals have operated inside major exchanges, institutional desks, and infrastructure providers across APAC — not as advisors looking in from the outside, but as operators who built and ran the businesses.
That means the relationships are real, the regulatory knowledge is current, and the infrastructure is already running.
