The way we pay for everyday goods and services in Southeast Asia is changing rapidly, and the digital infrastructure operating behind the scenes is handling more traffic than ever before. Reflecting this massive shift in consumer behavior, regional fintech platform Fiuu has officially announced that it processed a staggering US$13 billion, or roughly MYR 54 billion, in Total Payment Volume throughout 2025. This massive figure represents a significant 32.65 percent increase compared to the company’s performance in 2024.
To put that volume into practical perspective, the platform successfully facilitated over 960 million individual transactions across Southeast Asian markets over the past year. While the first three quarters of 2025 brought in a highly respectable US$8.3 billion, the company experienced a massive surge during the final quarter, processing an additional US$4.7 billion to reach its impressive full-year milestone.
Building the 2025 Ecosystem
This level of growth does not happen by accident; it requires constantly updating the tools available to everyday merchants. Throughout 2025, Fiuu actively strengthened its digital ecosystem through several key product launches. Notably, the company became the very first payment acquirer in Malaysia to officially enable Samsung Pay Online, significantly expanding digital wallet acceptance for local businesses nationwide. Over in Singapore, they introduced Tap to Pay on iPhone through the Fiuu Virtual Terminal. This was a highly practical update that allowed merchants to accept contactless payments directly on their smartphones without needing to purchase or maintain additional physical point-of-sale hardware.
Fiuu Chief Executive Officer Eng Sheng Guan noted that as commerce becomes increasingly connected across online, mobile, and physical retail channels, businesses desperately need payment infrastructure that is both reliable and highly scalable. To build out this reliability, Fiuu secured strategic partnerships with major players like PayNet, Mastercard, Pos Malaysia, and Affin Bank, broadening digital payment accessibility across the retail and logistics sectors. Currently, the platform supports over 110 different payment methods, allowing businesses to seamlessly accept both local and cross-border transactions through a single unified platform.
Looking Ahead to 2026
Rather than resting on its laurels, Fiuu is already executing an aggressive roadmap for 2026. The company is actively working with global payment networks, including Visa, Mastercard, JCB, and UnionPay, to strengthen its acceptance capabilities across key regional markets. A major focus is advancing Mastercard Click-to-Pay across Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, which will support modern passkey-based authentication standards for a much faster and more secure checkout experience. Additionally, Visa installment solutions will be expanding from Malaysia into Singapore, providing merchants with better tools to handle high-ticket purchases in both online and offline environments.
Fiuu is also making significant strides in localizing the checkout experience. The company is progressing towards enabling direct acquiring capabilities for JCB across Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, alongside adding UnionPay International in Malaysia and Singapore. On the domestic front, Fiuu is enabling PayNet’s MyDebit on OEM wallet-based payments. This makes Fiuu the first acquirer to successfully support the local Malaysian debit scheme across both card-present and card-not-present digital environments. To ensure this growing volume of transactions remains safe, the company is concurrently advancing its capabilities in tokenised payments and rolling out more sophisticated fraud detection tools. Ultimately, as Southeast Asia’s digital economy scales, Fiuu is making sure local businesses have the exact tools they need to confidently process every swipe, tap, and click.
